Richard Bakalyan
Biography
Richard Bakalyan was an American actor, born in Watertown, Massachusetts, who started out playing juvenile delinquents in his earliest films. He went on to appear as thugs, outlaws, and soldiers in movies such as The Delinquents (1957), Up Periscope (1959), and Panic in Year Zero! (1962). As he moved past those parts in the mid 1960s, he became a comic heavy and took roles in Disney films, including Return from Witch Mountain (1978), The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969), and The Strongest Man in the World (1975), plus the voice of Dinky the finch in The Fox and the Hound (1981). He acted in several Frank Sinatra pictures, among them Von Ryan's Express (1965), Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964), and None but the Brave (1965), and played Detective Loach in Roman Polanski's Chinatown (1974). On television he appeared in many shows from the 1950s to the 2000s, his last screen effort being My Name Is Earl in 2008.
