Sad news for comedy fans. The great George Gaynes has passed away at the age of 98. The actor is best remembered as the grouchy father figure on Punky Brewster and the dimwitted commandant Lassard in the Police Academy series. He also had a memorable role as the soap opera star with a crush on Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie. George Gaynes's daughter confirmed his passing this past Monday. The actor died at his daughter's home in North Bend, Washington.
George Gaynes had a versatile career, appearing in hundreds of TV episodes over the years, working in both comedy and drama. He also appeared in over 35 feature films and made for TV movies, along with appearing in a number of plays, musical comedies and operas in both the United States and Europe. While he became a very familiar presence to viewers around the globe, he never managed to reach leading man status.
