Again, we just lost another legend today 😔 JoBe Cerny, the actor, director and longtime voice of the Pillsbury Doughboy, has died at 78. Cerny helped give one of advertising’s most recognizable characters his unmistakable personality, carrying on the famous giggle that made the Doughboy a familiar presence in American homes. But his career stretched far beyond commercials. For more than five decades, he worked across movies, television, voice acting, theater and production, quietly appearing in projects alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Cerny also ran his own Chicago recording studio for more than 30 years, working on thousands of commercials, audiobooks, films and other productions. He passed away on October 30 after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s disease, which had forced him to step away from voicing the Doughboy as his health declined. JoBe Cerny spent his life becoming different people for a living, yet one little laugh made him part of pop culture forever. Rest in peace, JoBe Cerny 🕊️
