Marvin Kaplan, best known for playing Henry, the phone company worker who frequented Mel's Diner on the sitcom Alice and for voicing "Choo-Choo" in the Hanna Barbera classic cartoon series Top Cat, has passed away at age 89.
Mr. Kaplan got his start in show business in the late 1940's, taking a small role in the movie Adam's Rib. His most high profile role was in the film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World after which he turned primarily to television roles, guest starring on such shows as Petticoat Junction. His biggest role was on Alice, however, a part he held for the entire run of the series.
After Alice, he took mostly voice over work, his most recent role being in 2011's The Garfield Show.
