Northern Calloway
Northern James Calloway (January 22, 1948 – January 9, 1990) was an American actor, voice artist, and comedian, best known for playing David on Sesame Street from 1971 through 1989, and he also voiced Muppet characters, including Same Sound Brown.
On Sesame Street, his character David was studying to be a lawyer, but when Mr. Hooper died, David took over Hooper's Store. He was a favorite among the many viewers of Sesame Street during his time on the show, but his later career was increasingly hampered by a serious decline in his mental health until he had to be dismissed from the show and later institutionalized.
On January 9, 1990, Calloway died of cardiac arrest before his 42nd birthday.

Famous quotes containing the word northern:
“For generations, a wide range of shooting in Northern Ireland has provided all sections of the population with a pastime which ... has occupied a great deal of leisure time. Unlike many other countries, the outstanding characteristic of the sport has been that it was not confined to any one class.”
—Northern Irish Tourist Board. quoted in New Statesman (London, Aug. 29, 1969)
