The Fugitive - David Janssen and Barry Morse

Actor Barry Morse (seen standing behind David Janssen above) has died at the age of 89. His long career started in 1942, in The Goose Steps Out, and his last role was in the TV movie Icon in 2005. He was probably best known for his role from 1963-67 as Lt. Philip Gerard in The Fugitive TV series, in which he spent most of his time chasing Dr. Richard Kimble (played by David Janssen). Morse also had extended roles in other series such as The Adventurer and Space: 1999. Morse also directed and wrote for a small handful of TV series and movies. His career, which included theatre and radio, spanned seven decades.
