Good actor. In addition to movie work, he played on a lot of 60s TV series such as the Twilight Zone.
RIP, Don.
RIP.
Wow, another actor I’d assumed was already departed. I used to see him in a lot if stuff in the 60’s and 70’s. RIP.
Born Donald Guadagno, he was married to Denise Farr, Felicia Farr’s daughter........Felicia is actor Jack Lemmon’s wife.
He was a baddie in a few classic Untouchables episodes.
RIP.
Somehow strangely familiar.
Same here. Character Actors are people we may not remember their names but we do recognize their faces.
RIP Don Gordon
Not sure if he is the actor in this sciFi movie from the 50’s or 60’s. It was about some alien, the memory of that movie scene was the alien in a car. He pulls over and rips open his shirt and his ribs glowed. As a kid, that was scary. LOL
Oh. Now I know who he was. I never knew his name. He always played a character who appeared very p/o.
He was absolutely terrific as Steve McQueen’s partner in “Bullitt.”
Mr. Gordon has his own obit thread.
Thank you.
He married Felicia Farr’s daughter, which made him Jack Lemmon’s stepson-in-law, even though he was only one year younger than Lemmon.
RIP
Probably the only thing I’ve seen in are those 2 Twilight Zone episodes. “The Self-Improvement of Salvadore Ross” and “The Four of Us Are Dying”, good ones.
He was in “Bullitt”, good enough for me.
I also liked him in “Fuzz” with Burt Reynolds and a physically perfect Raquel Welch.
