 We
have learned only
this weekend
the
death on
Thursday,
January 26 of
Ian
Abercrombie, who was Philip,
the butler of the Capwells
in the first
months of Santa Barbara.
Born in 1934, the actor began
his career on stage in
1955, before winning the
movie
theaters and the televison sets
a decade later. The
Americans
know him well for having
played
the eccentric character of
Mr. Pitt in the sitcom
Seinfeld, and for
his many guest-star appearances
in various TV
shows
(often in the
parts
of
a butler,
indeed
!).
In recent years, Ian Abercrombie
had also specialized
himself
in
dubbing of animated series
and he
still
has
been
seen
early this year in
the TV
show
Wizards of Waverly Place.
The actor, who died of
a heart attack, is survived by his
wife Gladys, to
whom we send
our condolences.
