David Ogden Stiers, the Voice of Cogsworth, Has Passed Away

David Ogden Stiers, who brought to life several of our favorite Disney characters, has passed away at the age of 75.

According to a tweet from MKS Talent Agency, Stiers passed away “peacefully at his home in Newport, Oregon after a courageous battle with bladder cancer.”

While Stiers is widely known for his performance as Winchester in “M*A*S*H,” he had a long career in the industry.

Disney fans would recognize Stiers as the voice of Cogsworth from “Beauty and the Beast,” Jumba from “Lilo & Stitch,” Governor Ratcliffe / Wiggins from “Pocahontas” and Archdeacon from “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” to name a few of many characters he portrayed.

Our sympathies go out to those who knew him.
