At 89, actor George R. Robertson, who played Chief Hurst in SIX films, died

George R. Robertson, a Chief Hurst actor who appeared in six films on the franchise, died at the age of 89. His family told the Hollywood Reporter that he died in a Toronto hospital this past Sunday, and a memorial has been unveiled for the second half of March. The Police Academy franchise began in 1984 and spawned seven films in the ensuing decade, with Robertson in the first six. The films, which were set in an unspecified American town, revolved around a police academy that has been told it must admit any applicants, including the zaniest. Robertson put on a memorable appearance as a member of the old guard longing for the days when the cops 'all had Johnsons.'
