George Coe
George Coe (born George Julian Cohen; May 10, 1929 – July 18, 2015) was an American actor, known for Saturday Night Live.
Coe was a regular actor on stage from the late 1950s, most notably having his big break with the 1963 cabaret show Money, which saw Coe play 22 different roles that ran for a year. He was a part of the original cast for Broadway shows such as What Makes Sammy Run? and Mame, with the latter seeing him do over a thousand performances. He served as a co-director and co-producer in the parody short The Dove, which garnered him an Academy Award nomination. Coe was also a regular in small roles for television since the late 1960s before Coe was cast in the starting cast of the first season of Saturday Night Live in 1975 to balance the relatively young cast. Coe appeared in brief parts for eight episodes of his only season, although he appeared on the show again in 1978 and 1986; he was the oldest freshman actor on the show for nearly four decades.
Coe continued to appear in bit parts for countless shows and films over the next couple of decades. In his later years, he voiced the character of Woodhouse in Archer.
