George Coe (born George Julian Cohen; May 10, 1929 – July 18, 2015) was an American actor. He was a cast member for the first season of Saturday Night Live and voiced the character of Woodhouse in Archer.

Early life

Coe was born in New York, New York. The son of a diamond dealer, he graduated from the Admiral Farragut Academy, before attending Hofstra University in Hempstead. He served in the Navy during the Korean War. After serving in the military, he studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Career

Coe started out on Broadway in 1957. He played 22 roles in the Broadway show "Money", which was praised by The New york times. Coe was an original member of the "Not Ready For Prime Time Players", the original cast of Saturday Night Live. He also made guest appearances for episodes in 1978 and 1986. First appearing on the show at age 46, Coe was the oldest SNL cast member (at the age they joined) until 2014, when 47 year old Leslie Jones was brought on the show. He voiced the character of Woodhouse, the much-put-upon valet in the FX animated series Archer. He voiced the Autobot Wheeljack in Michael Bay's Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Death

Coe died on July 18, 2015, at the age of 86, after a long illness, in Santa Monica, California. He had a number of illnesses including lymphoma, a condition he had for around 20 years. He was survived by his wife, two daughters, and four grandchildren.
