Actor Barry Morse of 'The Fugitive' dies
LONDON (AP) - February 5, 2008 Hayward Morse said his father died Saturday at University
College Hospital in London after a brief illness.
Born in London in 1918, Morse trained at London's Royal Academy
of Dramatic Art and appeared in British repertory and West End
theaters before emigrating in 1951 to Canada, where he became a
regular on radio and television.
The actor's Web site estimated he played more than 3,000 roles
on radio, TV, stage and screen over a seven-decade career.
In 1963, he was hired by producer Quinn Martin to play Lt.
Philip Gerard on "The Fugitive." The series ran for 120 episodes
over four seasons, teasing audiences with the cat-and-mouse pursuit
of Kimble, wrongly accused of murdering his wife, by the implacable
Gerard.
"He thought it was a good show - well filmed, well directed and
well acted," Hayward Morse said. "He had nothing disparaging to
say about 'The Fugitive."'
Morse also played Professor Victor Bergman in 1970s science
fiction series "Space 1999."
In 1966, he was named artistic director of the Shaw theater
festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, rescuing it from
financial crisis.
Morse was a lifelong devotee of playwright George Bernard Shaw,
and his son said reviving the festival, which produces the works of
Shaw and his contemporaries, was his proudest achievement.
