He played a hard core leftist in real life. William Schallert was the opposite of another president of the Sreen Actors Guild, Ronald Reagan.

Funny you posted this because I first read this a William Shatner died!

For a guy who acted in a gazillion different TV shows and movies, I’ll bet 95% (or more ) of the people who know who he was will say “Patty Duke’s dad”.

Wow. First Patty Duke dies, now her father. Anyone know about Cathy, Patty’s identical cousin? Famous people die in sets of 3, so I’m worried about Cathy’s health!

It’s tough to think of a show from back then that he DIDN’T appear in!
