Tige Andrews, the Emmy-nominated character actor who portrayed a police captain in charge of a trio of hip, young crime fighters in "The Mod Squad," has died. He was 86.

Andrews died Jan. 27 of cardiac arrest at his home in the San Fernando Valley, his family said.

The actor often played detectives during his television career, which spanned five decades and included appearances on more than 60 shows. His daughter said he was proud of his stint as Capt. Adam Greer on "The Mod Squad," which aired during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The popular TV drama starred three young actors — Clarence Williams III, Michael Cole and Peggy Lipton.

Andrews was wounded while serving in the Army during World War II

Rest in Peace, Tiger, and Bless you for your service to our Nation.

Was he really? I guess having a famous dad really pays off.
Even as a little kid, I though that show stunk. I think my sisters liked it because there was nothing else on. They did like the Mod Squad however.

Mark Hamill, James Sikking (Hill St. Blues fame), Bruno Kirby, Michael Constitine were also on the show.
It was a cast of thousands.
