Harry Morgan, a co-star of the series "Dragnet:1967" opposite the famously taciturn Jack Webb, and whose career got a new lease on life when he became Colonel Potter on M.A.S.H., has died. He was 96. Former co-star Mike Farrell said of Mr. Morgan, "There was not an unadorable bone in the man's body."
Mr. Morgan, born Harry Bratsberg in Detroit, Michigan, also played other memorable roles, including Judge Bell in the tv movies, The Incident (1992), Against Her Will (1994) and Incident in a Small Town (1994) opposite Walter Matthau, Leonard Blacke on the series Blacke's Magic, "Staff" Stafford on the series The D.A., Inspector Richard Queen in the tv movie Ellery Queen: Don't Look Behind You (in which Peter Lawford played Ellery Queen) and Judge Coffey in the original Inherit the Wind with Fredric March and Spencer Tracy. Judge Coffey was one of his best roles.
