Veteran actor Marvin Kaplan has died at 89. Best known for his recurring role on the long-running sitcom “Alice,” Kaplan died Friday in Burbank, California, where he resided, said John Gallogly, executive director of Theatre West, with which Kaplan was associated. Besides his portrayal on “Alice” of Henry, a telephone linesman and frequent patron of Mel’s Diner, Kaplan voiced the character Choo-Choo in the 1960s cartoon series “Top Cat.”

Another casualty from Alice.

He is now with Vic Tayback (Mel) and Beth Howland (Vera).
