Who's Who in the Cast
Larry Dobkin is a familiar face to fans of I Love Lucy -- as the restaurant counterman who catches Lucy with her hand in the till in "Ricky and Fred Are TV Fans" (Episode #66); as Xavier, the waiter who forces the girls to wash dishes in "Equal Rights" (Episode #70), and as the Parisian tout (pictured here with Lucy) whose phony francs land Lucy in jail in "Paris at Last!" (Episode #145). Mr. Dobkin began acting as a child on New York City stages, both on and off-Broadway.
After receiving an M.A. from Yale University's
School of Drama, he plunged into commercial radio in the late '40s and early
50s including such shows as Lux Radio Theater, Philco Playhouse,
and his own starring vehicle, the Adventures of Ellery Queen. His
than 200 other television acting credits include Barnaby Jones, Burns
and Allen, Cannon, The F.B.I., Gunsmoke, The Fugitive, Have Gun Will Travel,
L.A. Law, Manhunter, McGyver, Mod Squad, Naked City, Playhouse 90, Red Skelton,
The Rifleman, Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Streets of San Francisco,
Wagon Train, The Waltons, and War and Remembrance. His writing
credits include Life and Times of Grizzly Adams (feature film and
series). Directing credits span 25 years and more than 200 hours of prime
time, including Alcoa Presents, Barnaby Jones, Charlie's Angels, Cowboy
in Africa, Emergency, The Fugitive, The Rifleman, Star Trek, Streets of
San Francisco, and The Waltons. Mr. Dobkin has appeared more
than 20 feature films including The Defiant Ones, The Ten Commandments,
Patton, 12 O'Clock High, D.O.A., and North by Northwest. He recently
recorded I Love Lucy: Behind the Scenes -- the audiobook version
of Jess Oppenheimer's memoir, Laughs,
Luck...and Lucy: How I Came to Create the Most Popular Sitcom of All Time.
