NEW YORK—Actor Robert Morse, a two-time Tony Award winner, has died. He was 90.
Morse died at his home Wednesday after a brief illness, said David Shaul of BRS/Gage Talent Agency.
Morse first made his name on Broadway in the 1950s, and landed some roles in Hollywood comedies in the 1960s. “I consider myself an actor—shyly,” he told the Los Angeles Times in 1964. “I love acting. It’s a great use of body and mind … With all humility, you hope that you are doing something worthwhile.”
Reviewing his career, Morse told The New York Times in 1989: “Things change. I never got a chance to be in a play or picture where I played a father, or had a family, or where I could feel or show something. The wild child in me never had a chance to grow up.”
