Inside of the entertainment industry, Charles Kimbrough was known to be a passionate and hard-working actor. Back in 2007, "Murphy Brown" creator Diane English revealed details about Kimbrough's artistic process to the Archive of American Television (via The Hollywood Reporter). She said that Kimbrough "wrote a whole biography for his character before he started to play him." She continued, "Charlie is the most lovable, lanky, rubbery, sweet, adorable man. When he came in to read for us as Jim Dial, he brought it all there: ramrod posture, anchor voice, slick-back hair. He brought a credibility to the character."
English wasn't the only industry professional to gush about Kimbrough's remarkable talent and commitment. Lee Aronsohn, a co-creator of "Two and a Half Men" and writer for "Murphy Brown," tweeted, "I worked with Charles Kimbrough on Murphy Brown. He was a no-drama professional with a dead-on sense of comedic timing — and completely unlike his character."
Fans also remembered Kimbrough's incredible achievements. One user reflected on his long career, tweeting, "RIP Charles Kimbrough, 86, who we know from his role on Murphy Brown. He had been acting and doing musical theatre since 1964." Kimbrough has surely inspired others and left a legacy.
