Get Smart star Dick Gautier has died

Do you remember watching Get Smart as a kid back in the 60s?

Well, you’ll be sad to hear that the actor behind the character Hymie has died.

Dick Gautier died yesterday after a long illness, his daughter Denise confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter.

He was 85.

Although he only appeared in six episodes, Gautier was a fan favourite.

You might also remember Gautier for his starring role in the 1960 musical Bye, Bye Birdie, in which he played Conrad Birdie.

His performance was so memorable he was nominated for a Tony for Best Featured Actor in a Musical.

If you recognise his voice, that’s because he was also the voice of characters in Tom and Jerry and The Addams Family.

And there was his appearances on The Patty Duke Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Love Boat, Murder She Wrote and Charlie’s Angels, plus Divorce American Style and Fun with Dick and Jane.

He’s survived by his former wife Tess, daughters Chris and Denise, son Rand, four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
