Timeline
Ian Abercrombie (11 September 1934 – 26 January 2012) was an English actor.
He was best known for playing Justin Pitt (Elaine Benes' boss) during the sixth season of Seinfeld.
He also played Alfred Pennyworth on Birds of Prey, Rupert Cavanaugh (Ian Hainsworth's butler) in Desperate Housewives, Professor Crumbs in Wizards of Waverly Place, and Palpatine in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Abercrombie was born on 11 September 1934 in Grays, Essex, England.
He began his theatrical career during the Blitz in World War II.
After his footwork years during which he earned bronze, silver and gold medals in stage dancing, he performed in London, Scotland, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
He moved to the United States at age 17.
Many plays in summer stock, regional, and off-Broadway followed in a variety of theatrical offerings, from revues to Shakespeare (in a particularly low period, he worked as a magician's assistant for $10 a performance).
In 1956, Abercrombie was married to Elizabeth Romano and they divorced in 1978 after 22 years of marriage.
In 1957, he was drafted into the United States Army and stationed in West Germany as part of Special Services, where he directed the continental premiere of Separate Tables.
In the United States, he went to California for a backers' audition, which went nowhere, but he began a long film and television career.
He received awards for his work in Sweet Prince with Keir Dullea; Teeth 'N'smiles; A Doll's House with Linda Purl; and The Arcata Promise, opposite Anthony Hopkins.
He received acclaim for the one-man show Jean Cocteau—A Mirror Image.
In 1984, he was married to Gladys Abercrombie until his death in 2012.
Abercrombie was known to cult film audiences as Wiseman in the comedy horror film Army of Darkness (1993).
He guest-starred on many television series such as Seinfeld, The Nanny, Wizards of Waverly Place, Airwolf, Babylon 5, Barnaby Jones and NewsRadio.
On radio, he was heard in several productions of the Hollywood Theater of the Ear.
Abercrombie voiced Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sidious in the 2008 film The Clone Wars, the television continuation, and two spin-off video games (Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes and Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels).
Supervising director Dave Filoni said that Abercrombie was very excited that Darth Sidious finally was going to be seen in person and not as a hologram anymore.
During Celebration VI, Filoni mentioned that before his death, Abercrombie recorded for most of season five as the character, but did not finish, so actor Tim Curry was brought in to voice Palpatine.
Abercrombie also voiced the character in the Clovis story arc of the Lost Missions (season six), since it was originally a part of the season four, and later the season five, line-up.
Abercrombie voiced Ambrose in Oscar winner Rango (2011).
He also portrayed Ganthet on Green Lantern: The Animated Series, completing his work as the character shortly before his death.
Abercrombie died from kidney failure in Los Angeles, California at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on 26 January 2012, twenty days after the Wizards of Waverly Place finale.
Additionally, The Clone Wars episode "The Lawless" includes a dedication to Abercrombie in the opening titles.
This was his final released work, shown in 2014.
