Gordon Robinson
Gordon Robinson is one of the longest-lasting characters on the long-running children's TV program Sesame Street.
Gordon is a bald African-American teacher, married to Susan Robinson . The building in which they live is also shared by the puppets Bert and Ernie; the alleyway adjacent to the building has the nest of Big Bird, and their garbage area houses the garbage can abode of Oscar the Grouch.
The first actor to portray Gordon, Matt Robinson, died August 5, 2004, at the age of 65, succumbing to Parkinson's Disease. When Sesame Street began in 1969, not only did Robinson play Gordon, but he also provided the voice of the puppet Roosevelt Franklin. He left the show in 1971.
