A veteran actor was stabbed to death by his girlfriend's son Wednesday morning in Los Angeles, police said.

James Handy, who most recently appeared in “Top Gun: Maverick,” was found unconscious in front of a home in Tarzana with a stab wound to his chest after the son called 911 to report the attack, reported NBC News.

“I am the son of man, I just killed the man of sin,” the caller said, according to police.

Police said 44-year-old Michael Gledhill flagged down officers after calling 911 about 9:30 a.m. and identified himself as the suspect.

Gledhill, who lives at the home with his mother, was arrested and charged with one count of murder.

The 81-year-old Handy had played the bartender Jimmy in 2022's “Top Gun: Maverick,” and he also appeared in “Arachnophobia” and “Jumanji” and had many TV roles, including appearances in “NCIS: Los Angeles,” “CSI: New York,” “NYPD Blue” and “Law & Order."
