RIP: Veteran actor Harry Morgan, best remembered for his roles as Detective Bill Gannon on Dragnet and Colonel Sherman T. Potter on M*A*S*H, passed away today in his LA home.
He was 96.
Morgan was a versatile actor who starred in over 100 movies. But most will remember him as the yin to Jack Webb’s Joe Friday on the revived version of Dragnet or as McLean Stevenson’s tough but fair replacement on the long-running war dramedy M*A*S*H.
Morgan was recovering from a recent bout of pneumonia, but an official cause of death has yet to be released.
