Veteran actor and Mad Men star Robert Morse has died at the age of 90.
Morse's son Charlie confirmed his father's death to ABC7 on Wednesday, and declined to reveal a cause of death.
He died in Los Angeles, where he owned a $1.8 million three-bed, three-bath bungalow situated in the leafy Sherman Oaks neighborhood that Morse bought in 1992.
The actor's talent agent, David Shaul, told Entertainment Weekly that the actor died 'peacefully at home yesterday after a short illness.'
Rich Sommer, who played Harry Crane on Mad Men, was among the first to pay tribute. He tweeted: 'Just about every person working at MM came down to watch him do this.
'We were all a mess. It was beautiful and strange, and so was he. RIP Bobby.'
Sommer had attached a video showing Morse singing and dancing to The Best Things in Life are Free during his final appearance on the show.

Also RIP J. Pierpont Finch.
RIP
I really enjoyed him in How To Succeed At Business Without Really Trying.
There is a brotherhood of man...
Loved him in “How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying.”
So sorry to hear that. Amazon Prime recently served up How To Succeed. Magnificent. His every move was worth watching and thank heaven his outstanding performance was recorded for the ages.
I also loved him in the film the Loved One. I saw it when I was 12, haven’t seen it since but it’s stuck with me all these years. As the advertisement said, it had something to offend everyone!
He’s like Jerry Lewis’s cuter brother.
Me, too. Saw it again about a year ago and I’ll do it again tonight. He was great in that role. A lighthearted romp from a much simpler time
Here he is in “The Loved One”, playing “straight” man to Liberace, as a coffin salesman:
“I can give you our eternal flame in either perpetual eternal or standard eternal”

Another one of the acting giants passing. RIP.
