Richard Anderson Dies at 91

Richard Anderson, the man who played Oscar Goldman in "The Six Million Dollar Man" and "Bionic Woman" has died at the age of 91. I never had a chance to meet him, though I met Lee Majors recently.  Rest in peace, Mr. Anderson.

From Deadline Hollywood:

Anderson’s credits spanned more than 180 film and TV roles over six decades after starting his Hollywood career as a messenger at MGM. But he will be best remembered for playing Goldman, the handler of the bionic duo of Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers, played by Lee Majors and Lindsay Wagner. Combined, the combined franchise — Bionic Woman was a spinoff — ran for more than 150 episodes from 1973-78 and spawned several TV movies, two of which Anderson produced. During a two-season span, he co-starred on both series at the same time, a rarity.

The Goldman character was so popular that Kenner introduced an action figure of him — complete with an “exploding briefcase” that would “detonate” if opened incorrectly.
