Actor Harold Gould died on September 11 of prostate cancer. He was 86.
He was probably best-known for playing con man Kid Twist in the Academy Award winning movie The Sting.
A popular character actor, Gould’s extensive resume of television appearances included many sf and fantasy programs, often playing a military officer or a doctor. These included the original Twilight Zone, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Green Hornet, The Invaders, The Wild, Wild West, I Dream of Jeannie, The Ray Bradbury Theater, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and The New Outer Limits.
Wasn’t he the avuncular con-man in the comedy-drama series “The Feather and Father Gang” with Stefanie Powers? That used to be fun.
