Very long. I first saw him in December Bride in 1955.

He probably first entered my life as Colonel Sherman Potter, but he burned his presence into my mind as Judge Coffey in Inherit the Wind.

No disrespect to Mr. Morgan, but my first reaction to this news was "Holy mackerel--you mean he was still alive???"

Yeah, that happens a lot.  When Arnold Stang died in 2009, I was shocked he hadn't done so years ago.

Though he played a nice guy on TV, this was not always the case in real life. A few years ago, he was convicted of beating his wife.
