RIP Ron Masak

Thousand Oaks, CALIF. — Character actor Ron Masak died Oct. 20 at a hospital here. He was 86.

He is perhaps best known as Cabot Cove Sheriff Mort Metzger, a frequent beneficiary of sleuth Jessica Fletcher’s crime-solving abilities for eight seasons of TV’s “Murder, She Wrote.” But he also had roles on dozens of TV series during his six-decade career.

MSTies will remember his role as the sheriff in the movie in episode 706- LASERBLAST.

Thanks to Gordon and Paul for the heads ups.

  1. RIP

    The hilarious riffing show Cheap Seats tackled Steve Garvey’s celebrity billfishing tournament and skiing events where the Sklar Brothers do quite the number on Ron “King Of Commercials” Masak. They’re available on YouTube and well worth a watch.

    “Come along and swim with me, to the bottom of the sea” “STRIKE!”

    Perhaps not so surprising considering there were 274 murders in Cabot Cove during the run of the show. Hmmm… RIP
