Enjoyed his appearance on TNG's first season finale - not a villain, just a ruthless businessman who had been cryogenically frozen. Episode also reintroduced the Romulans.

His character walked onto the bridge and pissed off Picard until he saw and said that the Romulan was lying. So he turned out to be sort of a back-handed good guy.

My wife met Richman many years ago and they maintained a casual friendship for a while. She told me he was a very nice man, the opposite of the bad guys he played. I just told her this news, and she was sad but heartened that Richman lived such a long life.

A great many hard workers are like that. I had a feeling he was like that. Sometimes the nice people are the ones you wouldn't normally think of as being such.

I’m wondering if anyone has seen the 2006 feature “Vic”, directed by Sage Stallone. Amazing cast, Peter Mark Richman, Clu Gulager, Gregory Sierra, Carol Lynley, Richard Herd, John Lazar, John Philip Law, Gary Frank....the list goes on.

I’m wondering if anyone has seen the 2006 feature “Vic”

Thanks for bringing this up, it sounds interesting.

Checking IMDb, it's listed as a short, only running 30 minutes. Is that incorrect?

given that cast list, if I were Clu, John Lazar or Gary Frank, I'd be nervous. The last year and a half has claimed many of those actors

I haven’t seen it, so not sure.

He was the "guest star" in a TV pilot that was so well-made it was released as a theatrical feature in 1965, DARK INTRUDER. And there's Mr. Richman's likeness big as life on the poster, beside the demon-monster (his evil alter-ego). I'm proud to have recorded a commentary for the critically-praised film, which will be released this Tuesday, February 2nd, as an absolutely beautiful Blu-ray from Kino.

If the pilot had been picked up it would have supposedly replaced The Alfred Hitchcock Hour in 1965. I've recently watched it as the final "episode" in my Alfred Hitchcock TV collection run (Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, the revival Alfred Hitchcock Presents (off-air taped VHS), plus episodes of Suspicion, Alcoa Premiere and Ford Startime executive-produced by Hitchcock). Although "Dark Intruder" may not have had any credited connection with Hitchcock, it was co-copyrighted by his production company, Shamley.

He was reliably solid, even when the scripts gave him nothing to work with... One of my earlier recollections was seeing him on a two part Knight Rider after spotting him on Three's Company. He is one of those actors I really wish I had gotten to meet. He seemed like a geuinely nice guy.

A trivia question might be "In what series did he play the father of Christmas?" LOL

 

[Wiseguy]

A confession: There were times I confused him with Lloyd Bochner.

I once confused Lloyd Bochner with Patrick McGoohan.

A shame that Warner Archive couldn't release Cain's Hundred on DVD because of one episode with music issues. I don't understand their logic in that if they couldn't put out a complete series or season, they wouldn't put it out at all. Did they think that magically a music licensing problem was going to go away? Or that Warner wouldn't wake up one day and tell the archive division to go ahead and spend the $$$$ to clear a song? We all dread music replacement or edits but sometimes its better than nothing.

 

[The Drifter]

MPR was a great character actor. I recently started my first re-watch of Three's Company, and noted that he played Chrissy Snow's father, Reverend Luther Snow - LOL:

Reverend Luther Snow

The Rev. Luther Snow is the father of roommate Chrissy Snow, who contemplated moving down from the community church he pastored in Fresno, California, to accept a position at the Santa Monica Community Church so that he and his wife could be closer to Chrissy and the roommates in the episode...
