-- a veteran TV actor, famous for roles on"The Love Boat" and"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.
The guy is perhaps best known for playing Murray Slaughter on 'TMTS' -- in which he played the head writer of the fictional TV station that Mary worked at. He was a main character on the series ... appearing in all 168 episodes over seven years, opposite the lead actress. His TV career was pretty much second to none -- the guy had roles on hit shows like"Hawaii Five-O,""Hogan's Heroes,""Perry Mason,""The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
