Lloyd Bochner

He appeared in the episode "The Pisces" of the short-lived TV show The Starlost (1973), and was Commandant Leiter in the Battlestar Galactica original series episode "Greetings from Earth".

In 1961, he guest starred in The Americans, an American Civil War drama about how the conflict divided families, starring Darryl Hickman.

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.

Two years later, he appeared on the ABC military-western Custer starring Wayne Maunder in the title role.

A typical and very famous Bochner role was that of the scheming Cecil Colby on Dynasty, in part due to his notorious death scene (the character suffered a heart attack while having sex with Alexis Carrington (Joan Collins), and later died in his hospital bed seconds after marrying her).
