George Robertson, a Canadian actor best known for his role as the police chief (and later commissioner) in the slapstick Police Academy film series, died at the age of 89 earlier this week.
According to a family announcement, Robertson passed away on Sunday at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto.
“He leaves a legacy of many accomplishments—a splendid career in stage, films, and TV with over 80 roles on both the big and small screen, most notably the original and six sequels of Police Academy,” the family’s online obituary reads. “He began his career on the stage and worked successfully in the industry for the next 60 plus years.”
