Harry Morgan, who played Col. Sherman Potter on TV's legendary war series M*A*S*H and Jack Webb's detective partner in Dragnet, died Wednesday at age 96.
The veteran actor died in his home in Los Angeles, Calif., after suffering from pneumonia, his daughter-in-law Beth Morgan tells the Associated Press yesterday.
"He was side-splittingly funny, a very gentle and loving father-in-law," Beth Morgan said. "He was very humble about having such a successful career."
Morgan became interested in acting while taking public speaking at the University of Chicago. Local theater stints led to a Broadway production of Golden Boy.
After appearing in dramatic films The Ox Box Incident and High Noon, he began a TV career in December Bride and Dragnet, before appearing in M*A*S*H.
