I had no idea his career spanned as long as it did.

His career years were 1971 to 2014 (43 years). Sounds right for a man of 71. Seems as if I've seen him in things forever. He was a very good actor.

That's a very long run, sometimes I remember him in the 'background' of some shows, but he was always memorable.

I remember his voice had a deep, distinctive tone.

So true. I can hear it in my head right now.

He was always the ""back"" lead and always stood out. RIP Mr. Herrmann.

Jack, I didn't know he narrated too. I've listed his profile because clearly, he did a lot.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

I really liked him in many movies like Overboard, Big Business and Annie.

I recognize his face...did he do TV as well? Sorry to hear he has passed.

If you ever get a chance to see the Tv movie he did in 1981, The Private History of the Campaign that Failed, do watch it. A powerful Mark Twain anti-war story that takes place during the Civil War. He was amazing in that.

OT: (The young girl in the movie is Cynthia Nixon).

He was a great actor and 71 is much too young.

He was FDR. Perfect. I loved him. I just read that he is the narrator on the Unbroken audio.

He played the best of 2 Roosevelt's! The other was the comedian who played Roosevelt. (The one in ghost busters). Bill Murray (it takes a few minutes) for total recall.

He also read David McCullough's book, John Adams. In spite of a couple of mispronunciations: Quincy (both the people and the city) as QuinCEE rather than QuinZEE; and Haverhill, Ma. as HAY-VER-HILL rather than HAYV-RILL, he did a wonderful job. Unless your a Massachusetts resident, you wouldn't notice those.

I remember him first in St Elsewhere on TV as the founding priest of the hospital. Then as Goldie Hawn's rich hubby in Overboard.
