John Erwin, Voice Actor in "He-Man" and "Archie" Cartoons, Dies at 88


Recommended Posts

John Erwin, the reclusive actor who provided the voices for the heroic title character in "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" and the vain frenemy Reggie Mantle in a series of "Archie" cartoons, has died. He was 88.

Erwin died of natural causes around Dec. 20 in his home in Camarillo, California, his reps at the PR firm Celebworx announced.

For nearly a decade starting in 1969, Erwin was heard in dozens of TV commercials as the snarky Morris the Cat, the finicky orange tabby who would eat nothing but the 9Lives brand of cat food. The hugely successful campaign was created by the Leo Burnett advertising firm.

Earlier, Erwin was seen on camera when he recurred as the cattle driver Teddy on CBS’ "Rawhide," starring Clint Eastwood.
