The Austin, Texas-born actor earned recognition for playing Merle Jeeter in the Norman Lear-produced soap opera spoof, “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," throughout its two-season run in 1976-77.
Over the course of his career, he earned six Emmy nominations for his roles in the short-lived '80s NBC sitcom "Buffalo Bill," the TV movie "Sworn to Silence," the one-season sitcom "The Slap Maxwell Story," ABC's miniseries "Baby M" and the crime drama "Columbo."
It was his role in ABC's "Sworn to Silence" that earned him his first – and only – Emmy Award in 1987. The following year, he won the Golden Globe Award for best performance in a musical or comedy TV series for playing a philandering sportswriter in "Slap Maxwell."
