Emmy-winner and Tony-nominee Robert Guillaume, star of everything from Benson to The Lion King, has died of prostate cancer complications at the age of 89.
He even won a Grammy for a spoken word recording based on The Lion King, atop voicing Rafiki in the film.
Best wishes to all those remembering Robert Guillaume in the meantime.
Other notable roles for Guillaume included early turns on All in the Family, Good Times, Sanford and Son and The Jeffersons, along with post-Benson work like ABC’s Sports Night.
