LOS ANGELES: Jack Klugman, who made an art of gruffness in TV s "The Odd Couple" and "Quincy, M.E.," has died at the age of 90.
The actor s son Adam says his father died Monday afternoon in Los Angeles.
In the 1970s sitcom "The Odd Couple," Klugman played sloppy sports writer Oscar to co-star Tony Randall s Felix, a fussy photographer. In "Quincy, M.E.," which aired from 1976 to 1983, Klugman played an idealistic, tough-minded medical examiner.
Klugman lost his voice to throat cancer in the 1980s but trained himself to speak again. He returned to acting in a 1993 Broadway revival of "Three Men on a Horse."
Klugman split his time between TV, movies and the New York stage.
