Solid character actor that for various reasons never became a star. He is perhaps best known for his role as the tough police captain in the hit 1970s television series, Starsky and Hutch. Other notable credits include Luis Buñuels English-language film, The Young One (1960) where he plays a jazz musician who flees a lynch mob, and One Potato, Two Potato (1964), where he got a chance to show a softer side as a man fighting to obtain parental rights of his stepdaughter.
