John Hillerman, the actor who made a career out of playing snooty types, including Tom Selleck’s fastidious estate caretaker Jonathan Quayle Higgins III on Magnum, P.I., died Thursday. He was 84.

Hillerman, who received four Emmy nominations in consecutive years for portraying Higgins and won in 1987, died at his home in Houston, family spokeswoman Lori De Waal told the Associated Press. She said the cause of death had not been determined.

Hillerman also appeared as Higgins on episodes of Murder, She Wrote and Simon & Simon.
 
Always enjoyed his work. RIP.

For a Texan he played British characters very convincingly
(unlike Michael Caine who was the least-convincing Texan I'd ever
seen in Second-Hand Lions.)
 
Did we ever confirm conclusively that Higgins was Robin Masters?

But wan't the voice of Robin Masters in early episodes done by Orson Welles?

Yes, until Orson Wells died. At that point, IIRC, they upped the speculation that Higgins might be Robin Masters.
