Richard Anderson, the Emmy-nominated actor who played Oscar Goldman in both hit 1970s series “The Six Million Dollar Man” and “The Bionic Woman,” died August 31. He was 91.
Anderson’s credits spanned more than 180 film and TV roles over six decades after starting his Hollywood career as a messenger at MGM. But he will be best remembered for playing Goldman, the handler of the bionic duo played by Lee Majors and Lyndsay Wagner. Combined, the series ran for 150 episodes and several TV movies — two of which Anderson produced.

I was thinking about him just the other day. He played the same character regularly on two different shows on two different networks simultaneously. I don’t know if that’s ever been done before or since.
This guy.
Still love the opening credits.
Well Martin E. Brooks as Dr. Rudy Wells too
I just saw him in an old “Night Stalker” episode from like 1970!
That was a really scary show!!!
Terrific in westerns.
RIP
They couldn't rebuild him?
Better, stronger, faster.
They didn't have the technology?
Same age as Jerry Lewis.
I only remember Lee Majors from that show. Not this guy.
I was reading about him the other day. He started in the movies back in the early 1950’s. Just saw him in a bit part within the last couple weeks from one of his early films.
Very durable and in demand actor who had a very long career. His second wife was the daughter of Movie Actress legend Norma Shearer and Legendary MGM Movie Producer Irving Thalberg, he married into Hollywood Royalty.
He seemed like a good guy and I always enjoyed his work. He certainly hit his stride playing Oscar Goldman.
If only the deep staters can be more like Oscar Goldman
Tora,Tora,Tora. Played a Navy Admiral who wanted confirmation of the sub in the Harbor.
Oscar Goldman ran the Office of Scientific Intelligence, OSI.

In the 1960s, Anderson made appearances in 23 episodes of Perry Mason during the series’ final season as Police Lieutenant Steve Drumm, replacing the character of Lt. Tragg, played by Ray Collins who died in 1965. Before he became a Perry Mason regular, he made guest appearances in two 1964 episodes: as defendant Edward Lewis in “The Case of the Accosted Accountant”, and Jason Foster in “The Case of the Paper Bullets”.[3]

[Lt Kaminski calls up 14th Naval District commander Capt John Earle regarding an alert from the USS Ward]
Lt. Harold Kaminski: [reads Ward’s message] “Have dropped depth charges on a sub operating in our security zone”.
Capt. John Earle: [Sighs] We’ve had so many of these false sightings, Kaminsky.
Kaminski: Yes, sir, but never one this close before. Just off the harbor entrance.
Earle: Yeah, but you know as well as I, the skipper of that destroyer’s a green kid. I’ll pass word on to Admiral Bloch.
Kaminski: Will all due respect, sir, I think we should alert all commanders.
Earle: Confirmation, Kaminski. I WANT CONFIRMATION.
[Later, after arriving at the office, Earle is shocked to see the entire fleet on fire]
Kaminski: You wanted confirmation, Captain? [gestures to the burning harbor] Take a look! THERE’S YOUR CONFIRMATION!
There’s your proof-Neville Brand.
I remember him from Perry Mason. He appeared in it several times as different characters which was not uncommon for that show.
In the last year he took over for Lt. Tragg after Ray Collins became too ill to appear then died. Ray Collins kept trying as long as he could. In his last two apperances, I noticed he was sitting which was all he could do.
The director of the show kept using his name in the credits until Collins died because he knew that he watched the show.
Thanks. IIRC the pilot from the original crash survived.
