A truly brilliant comedian and sitcom actor. He had two eponymous sitcoms and appeared in many others - recently and notably Big Bang Theory as Professor Neutron, he also released several comedy albums that are quite good, mostly consisting of his 'telephone' conversations.
He was 94, and will be missed. Fortunately he left a large body of work behind to be appreciated.
