Robert Michael Morris was born in 1939 and died on May 30, 2017.

He was an American actor.

Morris was known for his co-starring role as Mickey Deane in the reality television spoof The Comeback and as Mr. Lunt in the short-lived series Running Wilde.

He became a professional actor relatively late in life, having been a college theatre professor before deciding to relocate to New York City to try acting.

He said; “I moved to New York so I could find out what it was like to be a professional actor because my students were all asking questions and all I had was academic knowledge. I didn’t have any real professional knowledge.”

He won his role on The Comeback at his very first professional audition.

He has had notable guest appearances in such series as Will & Grace, How I Met Your Mother, and 2 Broke Girls.

Robert Michael Morris passed away at 77 years old.
