Robert Guillaume –
Actor, Emmy winner, TV Jeeves.
November 30, 1927 – October 24, 2017.
Aged 89 years.
Most recognized for: Robert played sass-mouthed butler Benson DuBois on the quirky sitcom “Soap” and its longer-lived spin-off “Benson.” He also was cast as the voice of shaman primate Rafiki in the Lion King films… which must have been a difficult casting call to make. “Hello, Mr. Guillaume? Hi, this is So-and-So from Disney. Yeah. We need someone to be the voice of an old baboon. You down, bro?”
