One of the most beloved comic talents and sidekicks is gone...
Veteran character actor Tom Poston has passed away following a brief illness. He was 85 years old. Poston, who died at his Los Angeles home, is best known for his comedic appearances on TV programs The Bob Newhart Show, To Tell The Truth, Mork & Mindy and Newhart.
As a young man, Poston enlisted in the US Army Air Corps and served in England for four years during World War II.
In a career that spanned more than 50 years, he alternated between appearing on the Broadway stage and acting on TV and in films.
Poston turned up in numerous shows including That 70's Show, ER, Cosby, and Will & Grace. He also voiced characters on The Simpsons and King Of The Hill.
He may be more well known for his TV work, but Poston did have some notable big screen roles too...including parts in The City That Never Sleeps, Cold Turkey, and The Story Of Us. He is survived by his third wife, his former sit-com co-star Suzanne Pleshette, whom Poston married in 2001, and his three children.
I grew up watching Mr. Poston do his thing...He will be missed.
