Legendary TV and voice actor Rif Hutton died on Saturday at age 73 from glioblastoma, TMZ reported. Hutton died surrounded by loved ones at his home in Pasadena, California, after a year-long battle with aggressive cancer, his family told the media outlet. The versatile performer appeared in nearly 200 TV shows over the decades, most famously as Dr. Ron Welch in a 17-episode run on Doogie Howser, M.D., a five-episode run on JAG, and a 32-episode stint on the soap opera, General Hospital. He also worked as a prominent voice actor, according to The Hollywood Reporter. His work appeared in huge animated hits, including Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, Rio, and Ice Age. “A remarkable human being has left this earthly plane. To say that Rif Hutton was one of a kind is a gross understatement,” voice actor and playwright Steve Apostolina said in a Facebook post about his friend. Hutton is survived by his wife, fellow actor Bridget Hoffman, and his son Wolfy.
