Garrett "Barry" Atwater (May 16, 1918 – May 24, 1978) was an American character actor who appeared frequently on television from the 1950s into the 1970s. He appeared on ''Gunsmoke'' in 1959, Season 5, Episode 22,''Twilight Zone'' (1960), ''Lawman'' (1962), ''Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea'' (1965); ''Mission: Impossible'', ''Bewitched'' (1966); ''Star Trek: The Original Series'', ''Mannix'' (1968); ''Hawaii Five-0'' (1970); ''Kung Fu'' (1974); and ''The Rockford Files'' (1977).〔 ==Life and career== The son of a renowned landscape painter of the same name, Garrett Atwater was born in Denver, Colorado. He served as head of the UCLA Sound Department before he began his acting career. His work teaching audio techniques led to a role in the student film ''A Time Out of War'', a Civil War allegory that won the Oscar as best short film of 1954. He began appearing often in television episodes, often as a primary guest star — even playing the title characters on episodes of such shows as ''The Millionaire'', ''Meet McGraw'', ''The Court of Last Resort'', ''One Step Beyond'' (as Abraham Lincoln), ''Cheyenne'' (as George Armstrong Custer), ''The Rebel'', ''Empire'', and ''Riverboat''.〔 By 1960, he had achieved enough stature to be named by host Rod Serling in the on-screen promo as one of the stars of the well-known CBS ''Twilight Zone'' episode "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street". Atwater made six guest appearances on ''Perry Mason''. Atwater also performed regularly on stage throughout his career. In the mid-1960s, Atwater spent three years on the ABC soap opera ''General Hospital'' while he also made prime-time appearances, billing himself as G.B. Atwater from 1963–65, during a period in which he was cast in supporting parts. By the late 1960s and early 1970s, Atwater was again scoring primary guest-star roles, particularly on fantasy and science fiction series — ''The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'', ''The Wild Wild West'', ''Night Gallery'' and ''Kung Fu'' — where his altered facial appearance suited his grim and sinister countenance.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barry Atwater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
