Steve Franken
Stephen Robert "Steve" Franken (May 27, 1932 – August 24, 2012) was an American actor who appeared on screen and television for a half century. He was a second cousin of former United States Senator Al Franken of Minnesota.
Steve Franken, the son of a Hollywood press agent, was born in Brooklyn, New York and graduated from Cornell University in 1953. His first screen role was in 1958 as "Willie" in the episode "The Time of Your Life" on the CBS anthology series, Playhouse 90.
Another early role was as "Bully" in the 1961 episode "The Pit" of the ABC western series, The Rebel, starring Nick Adams. He played the lead guest-starring role in the 1961 episode "The Case of Willie Betterley" in the crime drama, Lock Up. In 1962, he was cast as Dunc Tomilson in "The Yacht-Club Gang" on the CBS crime drama, Checkmate. He appeared as Jerry Allen in two episodes of the NBC education drama, Mr. Novak. In 1964, he appeared the SciFi B movie, The Time Travelers.
Producer Rod Amateau saw him in a Los Angeles stage production of Say, Darling, and cast him as playboy dilettante Chatsworth Osborne, Jr., on the CBS sitcom, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, starring Dwayne Hickman. Franken appeared as a recurring guest in numerous episodes beginning midway through the first season and continuing through the fourth and final season, from 1960 to 1963. He attributed the character's look of pained condescension to an ulcer he himself had suffered since the age of fourteen, when his own mother had died.[3] He appeared in 1963 on Petticoat Junction as the son of the villain, Homer Bedlow, played by Charles Lane.[citation needed]
Feeling typecast, Franken sought out villainous roles, but played another rich wastrel on the short-lived sitcom Tom, Dick and Mary, and went on to a long career as a television and film character actor. Franken appeared in the famous 1963 Perry Mason episode, "The Case of the Deadly Verdict" as murderer Christopher Barton.
