Dick Wilson — (1916-2007) R.I.P.
Dick Wilson, the actor best known for playing the part of Mr. Whipple on years’ worth of television ads for Charmin, died Sunday at the Motion Picture and Television Hospital in Woodland Hills, California. He was 91.
You’ve probably seen him on television in many supporting roles and character roles such as the recurring drunk character on Bewitched. Wilson appeared in more than 500 commercials for Charmin from 1964 to 1985. Wilson’s acting career lasted nearly 70 years.
“It is not an exaggeration to say that the Mr. Whipple character, which Dick Wilson portrayed for many years, is one of the most recognizable faces in the history of American advertising,” Charmin brand manager Dennis Legault said in a statement. “Dick deserves much of the credit for Charmin’s success.”
Remember, please don’t squeeze the Charmin.
