Time To Make The Donuts

Actor who said 'Time to make the donuts' dies
December 27, 2005
NEW YORK --Michael Vale, the actor best known for his portrayal of a sleepy-eyed Dunkin' Donuts baker who said "Time to make the donuts," has died, his family said on Tuesday. He was 83.
Vale's long-running character, "Fred the Baker," became a cultural icon. The ad campaign lasted 15 years, until Vale retired in 1997.
Vale died Saturday in New York City of complications from diabetes, according to son-in law Rick Reil.
Canton, Mass.-based Dunkin' Donuts said in a statement that the corporation was "saddened." It said Vale's character "became a beloved American icon that permeated our culture and touched millions with his sense of humor and humble nature."
Brooklyn-born Vale studied acting at The Dramatic Workshop in New York City with classmates Tony Curtis, Ben Gazzara and Rod Steiger.
A veteran of the Broadway stage, film and television, Vale appeared in more than 1,300 TV commercials.
Vale is survived by his wife Nancy, son Tracy, daughter Ivy, and granddaughter Violet.

Perhaps this is why the Dunkin' Donuts advertising campaign has focused more on the coffee than the donuts over the last year. They saw his death coming!
