TMZ is reporting that actor David Ogden Stiers – know for his role on M*A*S*H* and for voicing several Disney characters – has passed away at the age of 75 from bladder cancer.
In 1977 Stiers landed the role that changed his life forever on the already hit TV series M*A*S*H*, that of Major Charles Emerson Winchester III.
In 1991 Stiers was heard as the voice both of the opening narrator and of Cogsworth the clock in Beauty and the Beast.
He returned to both Matlock and Murder, She Wrote as different characters some time later, again appearing in three episodes of each.
