    Late in his career, he always portrayed Michael Landon's sidekick in sappy TV dramas.
    His own sitcom, ‘Carter Country,' flopped.
    He was a heavy smoker who died at 54 of lung cancer.

    He was a successful stage director.
    He was equally comfortable in dramas, comedies, westerns and mysteries.
    He had a memorable bit part on ‘Get Smart.'
    When he died, Michael Landon was so upset that he stopped producing ‘Highway to Heaven.'
    He was left-handed.
