This guy.
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.
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.
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!
RIP. Good actor.
Great actor who will be missed.
Waiting for the Hollywood remake “The Six Million Dollar Trans”
Was in classic movie “FORBIDDEN PLANET”
Also in TORA, TORA, TORA
He was the last surviving regular from “Perry Mason.” Watched “Six Million” and “Bionic” as a kid in the ‘70s and in reruns in the early ‘80s. Enjoyed his work. RIP.
