Gavin MacLeod, ‘Love Boat’ Captain, Dies at 90

Gavin MacLeod, a sitcom veteran who played seaman “Happy” Haines on “McHale’s Navy,” Murray on “Mary Tyler Moore” and the very different, vaguely patrician Captain Stubing on “The Love Boat,” has died. He was 90.

MacLeod’s nephew, Mark See, confirmed his death to Variety. MacLeod died in the early morning on May 29. No cause of death was given, but MacLeod’s health had declined in recent months.

I was always a fan of his character on Mary Tyler Moore. Murray had some great scenes with Ted Knight.

May The Captain sail the oceans on the Love Boat forever and be at peace.

Loved him. He was a gifted actor. RIP.
 
His list of credits is a mile long. In the 70's, 80's, and more it seemed like he was on the TV every night! R.I.P!
 
I read an interview with him in a AAA mag a few years ago. They talked about how Love Boat was the best thing ever to happen to the cruising industry. MacLeod talked about how he's cruised many many times.
 
He was also "Moriarity" (the tank mechanic) in Kelly's Heroes.

("I haven't had nothing but good thoughts about that stinkin' bridge!")

I had forgotten about that role. After reading your comment i watched Kelly's Heros on Amazon Prime this weekend. Always enjoyed that movie!

Early in the pandemic i was binge watching the old Hawaii 5.0 series with Jack Lord.

Gavin actually played two different bad guys in the same season, only a few episodes apart... Don't think a current TV series would try that
