Biography

Alan North was an actor who entered show business as a New York stage manager after serving in the navy during wartime. He made his Broadway debut in Plain and Fancy, also understudying the minor role of Isaac Miller, and the production ran from 1955 to 1956 with 461 performances. That led to acting jobs in musical comedy and serious drama on and off Broadway. In 1999 he appeared at the Signature Theater in Lake Hollywood. Earlier he hosted a Baltimore Orioles television program and did a sports broadcast on WRC-TV in Washington. He became a steady screen presence in the early 1970s with Plaza Suite (1971) and Serpico (1973), then worked frequently on television, usually as police officers, priests, and academics. His best remembered part was Chief Ed Hocken in the spoof Police Squad! (1982). He died in January 2000.
