Robert Morse on AMC's "Mad Men" |
|
|
Robert Morse is one of a few actors in the history of the Tony Awards to have received both of its top honors – Best Actor in a Play and Best Actor in a Musical – a distinction he shares only with Rex Harrison, Christopher Plummer and Zero Mostel. Robert Morse's musical award came in 1962 with his unforgettable performance in the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" (reprising the role in the film version) and his dramatic nod came in 1990 - with his triumphant portrayal of Truman Capote in the tour de force one man show, "Tru." The PBS presentation of "Tru" later earned him a 1993 Emmy Award as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Special as well. On TV, Robert Morse appeared in a continuing role in the medical drama "City of Angels," and in an Oliver Stone miniseries "Wild Palms," among various memorable TV guest appearances.
