You were hip and cool as Pete Cochran on the hip and cool Mod Squad, but there's more to your career that came before and after that landmark show.
In this regard, you visited such popular venues as Gunsmoke; Wonder Woman; Murder, She Wrote; The Eddie Capra Mysteries; Diagnosis: Murder; Fantasy Island; Police Story; ER; 7th Heaven; Acalpocu Bay; Good Sports; Mystery Woman: At First Sight (with your Mod Squad costar, Clarence Williams III) and even had a recurring role as Harlan Barrett on General Hospital.
On the imagi-movie end, you appeared in Arch Obler's surreal, 3D epic, The Bubble (aka The Fantastic Invasion of Planet Earth), and the It miniseries. Such were flanked by Chuka; Grave Misconduct; Mr. Brooks; The Apostate; Evening in Byzantium; Nickel Mountain; Forbid Them Not; and The Last Child.
You were suave and sophisticated, woeful and euphoric: an actor of exceptional range, Mr. Cole, whose style and inimitable eye-twinkle made you a special favorite to anyone blessed to watch, let alone know you.
