Lloyd Wolfe Bochner (July 29, 1924 – October 29, 2005) was a Canadian actor. == Career == At the age of 11, Bochner began his acting career on Ontario radio programs. He went on to garner two Liberty Awards, the highest acting honour in Canada, for his work in Canadian film and theatre. In 1951 he moved to New York City and appeared in early television series such as ''One Man's Family'' and ''Kraft Television Theatre''. In 1960, ABC called with a starring role in the series ''Hong Kong'' with co-star Rod Taylor. Faced against NBC's ''Wagon Train'', then one of the most highly rated programs on the air, ''Hong Kong'' ended with the twenty-sixth episode. In 1961, he guest starred in ''The Americans'', an American Civil War drama about how the conflict divided families, starring Darryl Hickman. A few years later, Bochner appeared in one of his most famous roles, that of a cryptographer attempting to decipher an alien text in the classic 1962 ''Twilight Zone'' episode "To Serve Man," a part he himself spoofed years later in the comedy ''The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear''. In 1962 and 1963, he appeared in two episodes of the CBS anthology series, ''GE True'', hosted by Jack Webb; he portrayed the part of Stoughton in "Code Name: Christopher, Part I" and Captain Ian Stuart in "Commando". From 1963 to 1964, Bochner was a member of the repertory cast of NBC's ''The Richard Boone Show''. In 1964, he guest starred in the ''Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea'' Season One episode "The Fear-Makers". Later that year he appeared as murderer Eric Pollard in the ''Perry Mason'' episode, "The Case of the Latent Lover." In 1965, he guest starred on ABC's western series ''The Legend of Jesse James'' starring Christopher Jones in the title role. Two years later, he appeared on the ABC military-western ''Custer'' starring Wayne Maunder in the title role. He appeared twice on the long-running television western ''The Virginian'' in the 1960s. Bochner is also memorably smooth and malicious as the gangster Carter up against Lee Marvin in John Boorman's seminal 1960s film noir ''Point Blank''. Over the years, Bochner continued to portray a variety of roles in television and film, from a warlock on ''Bewitched'' to a homosexual doctor coming out at middle age in the 1977 television-movie ''Terraces'', to Pia Zadora's abusive screenwriter husband in the camp classic film ''The Lonely Lady''. In 1960, he starred in an adaptation of A. J. Cronin's ''The Citadel'' along with Ann Blyth. His son Paul said he "almost always played a suave, handsome, wealthy villain." 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「Lloyd Bochner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
