Earlier, he won an Emmy for playing the principal on James L. Brooks' 'Room 222,' a show ahead of its time.

“I had to audition for the part,” he recalled in a 2016 interview. “Before that, I asked to read the script, because I was very leery. I didn’t know Nia then [she also penned the screenplay], and I was anxious about someone writing some Greek thing. Was it going to be baloney or was it going to be something by somebody who really knows Greeks? So I read the script and I said, ‘Yes, this person obviously knows Greeks.

The know-it-all Gus was famous for thinking that Windex would cure just about any ailment. “I’m actually sick of Windex,” he said. “There must have been hundreds of bottles sent to me, and then there were all those people who asked me to autograph their Windex bottles.”

I was JUST THINKING ABOUT HIM! He is from Reading PA and I met him and his daughter there once. He thought no one knew who he was! They were at this fire station restaurant. I loved him as a kid on Room 222!

R.I.P.

Reading his obituary, they left out, according to, me the most juicy part Constantine played: he was the slimy bail bondsman who helped Richard Kimble's wife's killer, the one-arm man, get bailed out in 'The Fugitive' tv series.

Definitely sad news

This is sad news. There was no kinder man than Michael Constantine. We had a blast doing ROOM222. I will miss him. - dj

Room 222--not 'ahead of its time,' which nothing is, but of its time. It was a time of Baby Boomers coming of age, the Civil Rights movement, the Second Wave of Feminism, and gay liberation. As a young woman of the time, I loved it--Karen Valentine and Michael Constantine.

Loved his 2-parter in Quincy, M.E., and in My Life. Rest in Peace, sir.

An icon

Great actor, thank you for the joy you shared with us!

Is it just me or has there been a lot of celebrity deaths lately. Stop already.

I remember him best from Room 222z
