Subject: Jack Riley, actor on 'The Bob Newhart Show' and 'Rugrats,' dies at 80

Written By: Philip Eno on 08/20/16 at 3:54 am

Jack Riley, who played a counseling client on "The Bob Newhart Show" and also voiced a character on Nickelodeon's animated "Rugrats," died Friday. The 80-year-old actor died in Los Angeles, according to his representative Paul Doherty. Besides portraying grumpy, self-absorbed Mr. Carlin on the 1970s "Newhart" sitcom and providing the voice for absent-minded dad Stu Pickles on "Rugrats" and its spinoff, "All Grown Up!," Riley appeared in the Mel Brooks films "History of the World: Part I," ''High Anxiety" and "Spaceballs."

Welp, may the cast of Rugrats may miss him. Although, I barely watched the show when I was little.

He was one of the greatest character actors ever.  On an episode each of the 80s TV shows St. Elsewhere and Newhart, he reprised the character of Mr. Carlin.  In the Newhart episode, his character name was never revealed, but like the St. Elsewhere episode, he was complaining about how his life was ruined by a quack in Chicago.  Still one of my favourite tv characters ever!
