US actor Jack Klugman, who starred in hit TV series in the 1970s and 80s, has died at the age of 90.

He passed away in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon, his son Adam said, without giving further details.

Klugman played a no-nonsense medical investigator in Quincy M.E. and a sloppy sports writer in The Odd Couple.

The actor lost his voice to throat cancer in the 1980s but later trained himself to speak again. He returned to acting in the 1990s.

In his later years, he guest-starred on TV series including Third Watch and Crossing Jordan.

Off-screen, he owned racehorses and enjoyed gambling.

"The only really stupid thing I ever did in my life was to start smoking," he said in 1996. He said seeing people smoking on television and films "disgusts me, it makes me so angry - kids are watching".


Also Charles Durning who played Baron Harkonen in the film Dune died.

If only. We're not even allowed a kettle never mind alcohol.

I used to enjoy the Quincy reruns. They became more enjoyable after discovering the drinking games aspect. In some of the shows you could see how inspirational it was for health reforms, especially after he lost his voice through smoking.

A real shame. I still watch re-runs of Quincy on morning TV.

Erm, Kenneth McMillan played Baron Harkonnen in the film... And Iain McNeice played Baron Harkonnen in the 2000 mini series.
