Before Charlie Robinson was a Vietnam Vet on Night Court, he played one on Lou Grant. The 33-year-old did a great job in that 1979 episode.
Robinson passed away yesterday at the age of 75 from cardiac arrest with multisystem organ failures due to septic shock and metastatic adenocarcinoma according to The Hollywood Reporter.
His co-star Marsha Warfield wrote this, “My friend Charlie passed away today.
“I’m so sorry to read about and write this.
“Charlie Robinson was one of the great ones.
“My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, fans and all whose lives he touched.
“Rest well, Charlie, I thought you’d live forever.”
I thought the same. I thought he would be the last one to go from that show because he always seemed so strong.
Anytime I saw him in anything after Night Court, like This Is Us, Hart of Dixie, and Still Standing, he would always bring a smile to my face. He just had a positive presence about him.
Today, let’s keep that presence alive by watching one of the many great things he did throughout his 50-year career.
