The actor who played Robbie Rotten on the popular kid's show "LazyTown" has died after a long battle with cancer ... TMZ has learned.

A spokesperson for the family of Stefan Karl Stefansson tells us the actor died Tuesday surrounded by friends and family. We're told Stefan had battled bile duct cancer for two years before his death.

The 43-year-old from Iceland was a fixture on "LazyTown" over the course of 10 years ... starring alongside Julianna Mauriello, who played Stephanie. Stefansson's last episode on the show was its finale in 2014.

Stefansson was first diagnosed with cancer in 2016 but after surgery it appeared he was on the path to recovery. However, it returned in 2018 and was inoperable.

In a statement in March, Stefansson said, "It's not until they tell you you're going to die soon that you realize how short life is. Time is the most valuable thing in life because it never comes back. And whether you spend it in the arms of a loved one or alone in a prison-cell, life is what you make of it. Dream big."

He seemed like a really nice man. He was a good sport about that song turning into a meme.

Shit, I thought he died a few years back because of his cancer. Didn't know he put up this much of a fight.

So sad. I thought he said his cancer was gone, but I assume it was to kind of give a last bit of joy about him to all.

I never watched Lazytown, but it had catchy music and this guy as I followed, seemed like one of the sweetest guys out there. I'm sad.

I used to unironically watch it with my little sister, she loved most of the songs. We watched it in Spanish though.

I guess I'm living under a rock because I never heard of this show nor this guy until recently. Was the show this generation's Blue Clues or something?

Still, rest in peace my guy. Cancer can't hurt you anymore :(

I never watched it, but he was a great meme focus. I wouldn't say the show was a recent Blues Clues. It seemed like its own thing and more-so song-based.

These are the three most popular songs/memed songs from the show. Two of which starred him.

The first one shot crazily after Stefan got cancer. It was pretty much his "go fund me" video. When he found out it became a huge meme, this happened:

This was fucking awesome.
