The gangly York is best remembered as the first and most frustrated "Darrin Stephens" on the long-running TV series Bewitched (1964). He left the series in 1969 because of a chronic back ailment. He later founded Acting for Life, a private fund-raising effort for the homeless which he managed from his home, where he was bedridden with a degenerative spine injury.

Edit
  • Trivia
    The Bewitched (1964) TV comedy series was originally a vehicle for Broadway star Tammy Grimes as the lovely witch Samantha. She had recently scored in the Broadway musical comedy "High Spirits," based on the Noël Coward play "Blithe Spirit," in which she played the deceased Elvira, who comes back to haunt her former husband. Dick Sargent was chosen to play her mortal mate Darrin Stephens. When Grimes passed on the series, Elizabeth Montgomery was cast in the role. By that time, Sargent had other acting commitments and was forced to bow out of the pilot. York came into the picture after Richard Crenna of The Real McCoys (1957) fame turned the role down. Of course, Sargent wound up replacing York as Darrin in 1969, after York suffered a seizure on the set and was rushed to the hospital. He never returned to the show, and the "second Darrin Stephens" was never explained.
  • Quotes
    You know, three whales get in trouble and people from all over volunteer to help. Wouldn't it be wonderful if one old has-been actor with a hose up his nose could help millions?
    • The role of Darrin Stephens #1 on Bewitched (1964).
