never realized how young he started his career. maybe the "hidey hidey ho" vocals made me assume he came up in an earlier scene?

Prolific TV actor since the 1950s Peter Mark Richman (formerly Mark Richman), 93. He's such a journeyman it's hard to say what his most famous role is, perhaps as Blake Carrington's lawyer on Dynasty.
Just caught Nehemiah Persoff in a 1968 episode of Hawaii Five-O and he looked well into middle age then!

I see that Asner was recently mentioned on his birthday but it really should be remarked: every time I see him in something from the '70s (most recently, the 1977 Christmas TV movie The Gathering) he seemed moderately old, like at least late middle age, 40+ years ago. And then I almost immediately wind up seeing him in something current (most recently, Cobra Kai) and thinking, wow Asner got himself some good genes.

Would watch a Time Tunnel revive where the original cast takes a time tunnel back to 1966.
Also I need an original cast Police Woman revive.

Went down a Burt Bacharach rabbit hole each of the past two years where I came across this, maybe I posted on another thread:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBLMbJnN69c

Weird thing is that Burt met Angie through his parents, but maybe you knew that.
I didn't!
One great thing about Police Woman is whenever on the show Angie goes into a cocktail lounge there's a musician in the background playing a Bacharach tune

Prompted by a Bill James piece this morning, Luis Aparicio. 86, not all that old, but for me he does belong to a world before the world before this one (broke in the year Jackie Robinson retired).
― clemenza, Sunday, 10 January 2021 17:15 (five years ago)
I know he was just in "Knives Out," but I rewatched "Blood Simple" last night and even back in 1984 M. Emmet Walsh did not seem long for this world. Currently 85.

I went looking for one of his performances on Crackerjack, a take off of Pagliaci doing "Funny Funny" by The Sweet, as part of the final musical play that week. Looks like it was wiped, which is a shame, full makeup and deadpan, absolutely killed me at the time.
― Mark G, Friday, 15 January 2021 19:09 (five years ago)
i remember reading a puff piece interview with michael aspel about 15 years ago where he mentioned in passing that although he does get joy out of his life and likes when his children/grandchildren visit, "the darkness" often comes in.
