My Take

Gavin MacLeod represents a kind of television professionalism I worry we have lost. As Murray Slaughter he was the wry, dependable second banana on one of the smartest sitcoms ever made; as Captain Stubing he anchored The Love Boat with pure warmth for a decade. Few actors successfully jump from acclaimed ensemble player to beloved leading man, and he did it without ego or scandal. He worked his way up the hard way and stayed gracious until his death in 2021 at age ninety. My take: his genial screen presence was not an act but a discipline, and that steadiness is why two generations of viewers trusted him implicitly.
