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.

They told me Francis Hinsley, they told me you were hung,Forest Lawn in still in business:
With red protruding eye-balls, and black protruding tongue.
I wept when I recalled how often you and I
Had laughed about Los Angeles and now 'tis here you'll lie.
Here pickled in formaldehyde and painted like a whore,
Shrimp-pink, incorruptible, not lost nor gone before.

They should offer Robert Morse a freebie.
2016 Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Movie
When I saw ‘How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying’ for the first time I thought it was fun but later I realized it was how some places are run (without the singing and dancing). I wondered how some people moved up the corporate ladder. This movie is a guide.
Finch, exactly. Fantastic in that play and movie.
I believe in you, Ponty.
