Personal Quote:
[1988 interview] I'm not excessively "theater" or excessively an actor, but if I stay away for more than six months, I get edgy. I like to work and I don't really see a time when I would retire. See more »Trivia:
His first starring role in a television series was on Schlitz Playhouse (1951) in an episode called, "Log the Man Innocent", by Eric Scott. See more »Trademark:
