Henry Gibson

Boston Legal's Henry Gibson Dies

Veteran character actor Henry Gibson died Monday. His son, Jon, told The New York Times the cause was cancer. He was 73. Gibson was born James Bateman and went to college with Jon Voight, with whom he created a comedy team. Voight claims to have given Gibson his stage name as a tribute to Norwegian poet Henrik Ibsen (say it out loud with a Southern accent). He was definitely one of those "oh, that guy" actors that you know, but can't place. Allow us to assist you.
