Harold Gould earned a Ph.D. in theater and taught speech and drama at Cornell University.

Pursuing off-Broadway work in the 1950s, he decided to practice what he preached and became a full-time professional actor in the 1960s.

He appeared in hundreds of TV programs during his distinguished performing career, usually playing a father, grandfather, or other varieties of authority figures.

  • Trivia
    On the TV series Love, American Style (1969), Gould originated the "Howard Cunningham" role in the episode Love and the Happy Days/Love and the Newscasters (1972) in 1972. The producers of Happy Days (1974) asked him to appear in the show's pilot episode, but he declined because he had a previous commitment to appear in a play abroad, and the role was given to Tom Bosley.
