Gavin MacLeod, who is remembered for his long stints as Murray Slaughter on The Mary Tyler Show and Captain Merrill Stubing on The Love Boat, died on Saturday at his home in Palm Desert, California. He was 90. The cause of death is unknown.
Sadly, the passing of MacLeod makes Betty White, 99, and Ed Asner, 91, the remaining two primary cast members still alive from The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
Born Allan George See in Mount Kisco, New York on February 28, 1931, MacLeod made his television debut in 1957 on crime drama The Walter Winchell File. His first movie appearance was a small, uncredited role in The True Story of Lynn Stuart in 1958. His first credited large screen role was in 1958 prison drama I Want to Live! For the next few years, MacLeod made the rounds as a guest star in TV series like Lockup, Manhunt, Mr. Lucky, Peter Gunn and The Untouchables until landing a supporting role in sitcom McHale’s Navy in 1962 as Seaman Joseph 'Happy' Hanes.
In 1961, MacLeod appeared as Mel’s (Richard Deacon) cousin Maxwell Cooley on The Dick Van Dyke Show, which was his first time working with Mary Tyler Moore. MacLeod had three guest appearances on legal drama Perry Mason, not to mention guest roles on a variety of other TV series including Rawhide, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., My Favorite Martian, The Andy Griffith Show, Hogan’s Heroes and the original Hawaii Five-O before snagging the role as Mary’s sensible co-worker Murray on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
