Morgan Stewart is DEAD TO ME!
He had a hot ass but he couldn't live forever.
Television Actor Morgan Stevens, who appeared in some iconic shows, passed away at his home Wednesday ... TMZ has learned.
A source close to Stevens says he hadn’t been seen or heard from in a few days, which is when a neighbor called authorities to do a wellness check. Police have confirmed with TMZ ... Stevens was found in his kitchen, where he was pronounced dead. They suspect no foul play, and he most likely died of natural causes.
Morgan was best known for his work on the show “Fame”, in which he played teacher David Reardon for two seasons. He was also a recurring character on “Melrose Place” and “A Year in the Life”. He made guest appearances on a variety of shows, including “Murder, She Wrote”, “One Day at a Time”, and “Murder One”, with “Walker, Texas Ranger” being his last appearance on television.
In the ’90s, Stevens was a victim of alleged police brutality when he was arrested for an alleged DUI. He claimed after 90 minutes of waiting in a jail cell, he refused to hand back the shirt that was given, which is when two jailers kicked and beat him over two dozen times.
Stevens left jail with a broken nose, a fractured cheek, a dislocated jaw and nerve damage as a result. He later sued and an out-of-court settlement was reached.
Morgan was 70 years old.

As one final indignity to this former actor, I have used the wrong name in the DL thread about his death.
Oops!

His story is a sad one. The beating pretty much destroyed his career. He was never able to work steadily again.

Recurring role on Melrose Place? I don't recall him on there. What did he play, "Man on Roller Skates"?

He played the mob attorney for Melrose's Parezi crime family. It was brief.

I remember him from "A Year in the Life," which, if you've never seen it, is well worth watching (with Richard Kiley and a young SJP) and I had no idea he was that old. May he RIP.

I had a crush on him when I was a teenager...He was adorable. And there was a gay bashing I heard happened to him....RIP...

I always wondered if he was gay. He was one of those actors that you could never find any info about his personal life online.

There are replies from the video I posted at R6.
Met this man in 2015. He was very nice and humble. Had problems with his throat and could barely speak.
What was wrong with his throat?
You might be right. Just remembered him having a very hard time speaking while I was curious about the shows he had been on. He was very humble. It was on the 4th of July 2015 and remembered his dog going wild because of the fireworks. Time sure moves fast.
I think it had to do with the beating he took from the LAPD. I can’t really remember.
He was not in the best condition. He looked old and tired. You would never recognize him. I hope he's doing better. I think he still lives at the same apartment.

Possibly because his name is wrong in the OP's post R22.

R13....Martha Stewart will be one of the 100+ year olds. Her arrogance will keep her alive for a long time.
