The voice of Mr Potato Head, Don Rickles, has died at the age of 90.
The legendary actor and comedian passed away at his home in LA yesterday. It's thought he died of kidney failure.
Rickles had already signed up for the upcoming fourth installment of Toy Story. His co-stars Tim Allen and Tom Hanks and director of the third film, Lee Unkrich, paid tribute to him on Twitter:
