Richard Anderson, R.I.P.

Actor Richard Anderson, best known for his portrayal of Oscar Goldman in both The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman, has passed away at the age of 91.

Before achieving bionic level fame, Anderson was a fixture on TV from the 1950's through the 1990's. His TV credits include Wagon Train, The Untouchables, The Rifleman, The Man from U.N.C.L.E, The Big Valley, Columbo, Fantasy Island, Simon & Simon and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. Anderson also made several appearances on The Fugitive including on the series finale (which I saw the other night on The Decades Network).

Aside from The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman, Anderson was also a series regular on Zorro, the final season of Perry Mason and Dan August. Anderson also appeared in movies such as Forbidden Planet, Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory, The Long, Hot Summer and Seven Days in May.
