Former DDP pick (maybe current?), which I know because I wrote it and included the Family Guy gag about him. Not a pick this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markb4 902 Posted January 30, 2022 Loved him in WKRP and Head of the Class. Sad loss indeed. For the final season of Head of the Class, he was replaced by Billy Connolly in what would be his first major American production. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,044 Posted March 8, 2022 On 04/04/2015 at 16:55, Handrejka said: Conrad Janis (born 1928) and Bernard Fox (born 1927) are other possibilities. I think Janis still works but I haven't seen Fox do anything in a long time. Although known primarily for Buck Rogers, Tim O'Connor (born 1927) was in a couple of episodes of M*A*S*H and may be worth keeping an eye on. Of the regular M*A*S*H cast, William Christopher, Jamie Farr and Wayne Rogers are all over 80 though health wise I only know that Farr has diabetes. Conrad Janis, who played Mindy's father on Mork & Mindy, obit: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/08/arts/television/conrad-janis-dead.html IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0417641/ IBDB: https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/conrad-janis-11925 Should be a pick on the DDP, he has been before. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
