He died on November 28th, according to an obituary that was published in the in the Montreal Gazette (under his real name, Jack Westelman), but it wasn’t until yesterday that Kotaku broke the news to a wider audience of video game fans. Wells was primarily a voice and TV actor, making appearances on ’70s and ’80s shows like The A-Team, Sanford And Son, and CHiPs. Most notably, he portrayed Charlie the bartender across multiple seasons of The Jeffersons and even got his own “very special episode” in which George and Louise attempt to help Charlie recover from a drinking problem that has destroyed his marriage.
