Legendary actor Edward Herrmann, whose face and voice are familiar from so many roles in TV and film, died Wednesday in New York, according to TMZ and Buzzfeed. He was 71. TMZ reports that Herrmann's family says he had been battling brain cancer and had been hospitalized for the last three weeks in New York. "Edward Herrmann, besides being an accomplished actor, he was also a true gentleman and a scholar, as well as being an incredibly kind and decent man. He will be sorely missed," Herrmann's manager, Robbie Kass, tells USA TODAY in an e-mail confirming his death. Herrmann, who appeared in episodes of The Good Wife from 2010 to 2013, was maybe best known for his long run as Richard Gilmore on Gilmore Girls. But he was also known for his Emmy-nominated portrayals of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in made-for-TV movies in the 1970s, as well as for numerous roles in films such as The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) and The Aviator (2004). More recently, he voiced Roosevelt again for Ken Burns' PBS series, The Roosevelts: An Intimate History, in 2014. His rich voice was often on TV in historical documentaries and programs on the History Channel, and on PBS in science programs such as Nova. He was also a spokesman for Dodge cars in the 1990s. Herrmann, who was born in Washington, D.C., but grew up in Gross Pointe, Mich., graduated from Bucknell University. He was married twice and has two daughters. |

His IMDB page is incredible. The guy just worked and worked for over forty years in everything you can imagine: From the most prestigious TV dramas to sitcoms to playing Herman Munster in a totally crapfest TV movie.

He will be missed. He had a hell of a voice and anyone who has spent any time watching The History Channel has heard his narration on a ton of shows.
RIP |

I will always remember him as FDR.

The North Avenue Irregulars was one of my favorite movies as a kid and for a long time I had him confused with Harry Anderson of Night Court.
Though it was always fun to see him pop up here and there through the years, his wonderful voice over work seemed to make him a near constant presence. He will definitely be missed. RIP |

I remember him mainly from Modern Marvels and The States among many other feature length history documentaries. |
Re: In Memoriam...Edward Herrmann (1943-2014)
I associate him mainly with the History Channel. He was always "the dad from Richie Rich" to me as a kid, but his voice is very iconic to me.
RIP. |
Re: In Memoriam...Edward Herrmann (1943-2014)
How terribly sad.
Wife and I have been working our way through the Gilmore Girls in HD on Netflix and this will certainly dappen the enjoyment. Seemed like a very nice man. I thought he'd be older, but 71 these days is still too young. RIP |

I think my favorite unmentioned work is his small but important role in Intolerable Cruelty as the insanely rich man who loved pretty women and trains. |
