Actor Who Played Mr. Whipple Dies
LOS ANGELES (AP) The actor who played Mr. Whipple in the Charmin commercials has died. Dick Wilson made "Please don't squeeze the Charmin" a household phrase.
A statement released by Procter and Gamble says Wilson died at the Motion Picture and Television Hospital in Woodland Hills, Calif. He was 91.
The brand manager for Charmin says Wilson "deserves much of the credit for Charmin's success." Wilson appeared in more than 500 commercials for Charmin from 1964 to 1985.
Wilson's career lasted nearly 70 years. He had roles in radio, TV, movies and theater. His TV roles included Captain Gruber on "Hogan's Heroes."
***And I thought he was on a roll, even if he was the butt of many jokes. Sheet, this is sad news. Get out your tissue.
Holy crap! I had no idea that guy had any claim to fame at all except for stocking the shelves with Charmin. On this sad day, I pray that he won't be the butt of too many bad jokes.
I heard that he didn't take crap off anybody. But I'm a Cottonelle man, myself. I did wonder if he was in the spare a square camp? Gotta go now, I'm pooped.

Couldn't he have squeezed off one last commercial for posterity?
