LOS ANGELES – Roscoe Lee Browne, an actor whose rich voice and dignified bearing brought him an Emmy Award and a Tony nomination, has died. He was 81.
Browne died Wednesday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center following a long battle with cancer, said Alan Nierob, a family spokesman.
Browne had a decades-long career that ranged from classic theater to TV cartoons. He also was a poet and a former world-class athlete.
His deep, cultured voice was heard narrating the 1995 hit movie “Babe.” On screen, his character often was smart, cynical and well-educated, whether a congressman, a judge or a butler.
