Emmy-nominated actor Tige Andrews, who portrayed Captain Adam Greer in ‘The Mod Squad,’ has died. He was 86.
Andrews died of cardiac arrest at his home in San Fernando Valley on January 27.
Andrews appeared on The Phil Silver Show, Gunsmoke, Marcus Welby, Murder and She Wrote. He also played on Star Trek, which was the second-ever appearance of a Klingon.
His daughter said he was proud of his stint as Capt. Adam Greer on ‘The Mod Squad,’ which aired during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Barbara Andrews, one of the actor’s six children, said,
He felt the show made a big difference because it was one of the first television series to address social issues such as drugs, prostitution and teen pregnancy that were more hush-hush before that time.
Andrew received Emmy award for his role as Bodos in ‘The Big Valley’ and for ‘The Mod Squad.’
