Broke into the entertainment field as a stunt man and stand-in for actor Anthony Perkins. Appeared in the Star Trek pilot episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and has since appeared at many of the "Star Trek" conventions. He recently attended the Trek Expo in Tulsa, Oklahoma (2002). Reliable over the years for playing boyish-faced bullies in westerns and police dramas. One of his most memorable TV roles, and one of the most memorable on the series, was on a 1969 episode of Love, American Style in which he plays a guy who is told his mouth is too small. To test it out, he accidentally wraps his mouth around a doorknob and gets stuck! His co-star in that episode was none other than his wife at the time, Stefanie Powers. Best remembered today as ill-fated astronaut Frank Poole who is left floating in space in the Stanley Kubrick futuristic epic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Father of Samantha Lockwood Ironically, Lockwood's Frank Poole character (from "2001") learns about Star Trek's success in the novel "3001: A Final Oddyssey".
