Just found out that actor David Ogden Stiers, who voiced in several Disney animated features (Cogsworth, Ratcliffe, the Archdeacon, Harcourt, Jumba) has passed away. Would’ve loved to hear him voice another in the current era of WDAS. RIP :'(

Rest In Peace #DavidOgdenStiers. M*A*S*H is my favorite show of all time. Without it I donโt think I I would even be an actor. You were truly a remarkable talent!

Crushed to hear news of great actor David Ogden Stiers. I grew up watching him in MASH and loved him in Beauty and the Beast. RIP dear man… you had class.

#DavidOgdenStiers was a client when I was an agent. He was very kind, dryly funny unlike anyone else I have known. Life was fizzier with him. We were honored to have seen him work, a phrase which I hope would have pleased him and know would have made him tease me ceaselessly.

Good journey, David Ogden Stiers. Ian McKellen was good, but you’ll always be my Cogsworth. pic.twitter.com/cqHTmCVi1m

I know most people will remember #DavidOgdenStiers for M*A*S*H or Beauty And The Beast, but to me he will always be Lane’s dad in Better Off Dead. #RIP pic.twitter.com/8pZpkyDLcK
