Harold Gould, a mustachioed character actor who was a familiar face to generations of television and film audiences, died Saturday of prostate cancer at a nursing home in Woodland Hills, Calif. He was 86.

 

Mr. Gould had a doctorate in theater from Cornell University and was a drama professor in southern California when he decided in his late 30s to try his own hand at show business. "I gave myself a year," he told the Palm Beach Post in 2007. "I had to try."

 

In an acting career spanning half a century, he was nominated for five Emmy Awards. He was probably best known for his portrayal of a swindler in "The Sting," a hugely popular 1973 film starring Robert Redford and Paul Newman, and for his recurrent role as the boyfriend of Betty White -- aka Rose Nylund -- on the sitcom "The Golden Girls."

 

He also played Martin Morgenstern, the father of Valerie Harper's Rhoda Morgenstern, first on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and later on "Rhoda."

The name didn't ring any bells but as soon as I saw the pic, yes, he was in a lot of movies/TV shows.

 

RIP, too young at 86.

Yep, the name meant nothing. But that face is very familiar.
