Trivia

Best known for his role as 'nice guy' bartender Isaac on TV's "The Love Boat" (1977), Ted invariably played a heavy in earlier blaxploitation film roles.

Severely typecast in his long-running, rather featherweight role, he played it low-keyed for many years and found renewed respect on stage as a writer/director/producer/actor. He earned several stage awards for his efforts, including the Renaissance Man Theatre Award from the NAACP and the Paul Robeson Award from AFI.

Ted's mother, Gerri Lange, hosted her own television show on the PBS station in San Francisco, KQED, during the late 1970's.
