Actor Henry Gibson dead at 73, spokesman says

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Actor Henry Gibson, who played roles ranging from loopy poets to vengeful Illinois Nazis and cranky judges during a 40-year film and television career, has died at age 73, his representatives said Wednesday.

Gibson was a regular on "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In," where he was known for popping up to read short, humorous poems during the show's 1968-71 run.

He was a frequent guest star on television shows from the 1970s through the mid-2000s, with a recurring role as a judge on ABC's "Boston Legal" as late as 2008.

His movie roles included turns in two of director Robert Altman's 1970s films, "Nashville" and "The Long Goodbye," and as the neo-Nazi leader pursuing John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd in "The Blues Brothers."

No details of his death were immediately available, said Peter Gross, a spokesman Talentworks LA, which represented Gibson.

what the fudge is wrong with this year 2009????
 
I remember seeing him in several movies in the past.

Rest in Peace, Henry Gibson.
 
I love his ears! It was his time to go. I can't list the shows and movies he had played in. Lets see.. Wonder Woman, Macgyver, Bewitched, Burbs, etc. I remember he used his voice as Wilbur for Charlotte's Web.
 
I had remembered to watch "Laugh-in" on TV with him during my childhood life.

I enjoyed watching him ever since Laugh-In.
 
I am shock that he had passed away. I enjoyed watching him doing different characters in "Laugh-In" and laughed at the way he made motions, even I don't understood what he said with no close captioned (not yet invented to have close captioned decoder). He was really funny with his expression on his face. Also I did not know he was in other television sitcoms, but I do watched some of the movies he was in. Rest in peace, Henry Gibson. :(
