Allan Rich is an American actor, activist, and author, best known for being one of the most recognizable character actors with a film and television career that started in 1963. Before he was ever an on-screen actor, he appeared in a play on Broadway named I’ll Take the High Road when he was only 17 years old. He then worked in Darkness at Noon play that ran from January 1950 until June 1951. Allan was on top of his acting game until the early 70s came around, but due to being accused of involvement with the Communist Party and devotion to civil rights, ended up on a Hollywood blacklist, which meant he wasn’t being cast anymore. After working his way around the ban from roles, he slowly started getting back to acting, first with Naked City TV series where he had a small role of a cab driver in 1963, and East Side/West Side TV series the same year, with a role of Phil Mellon.
Allan Rich re-launched his film career and came back on the radar first with a play named Journey of the Fifth Horse alongside young Dustin Hoffman, and then starring in Serpico (1973) alongside Al Pacino and The Gambler as Bernie the same year. Landing roles in movies such as Scott Free (1976), Tail Gunner Joe (1977), Terraces (1977), Uncle Joe Shannon (1978) and TV series such as Little House on the Prairie in 1978, Baretta from 1975 to 1978, as well as Happy Days in 1979 soon proved that Allan was a highly sought-after actor. He went on to have a successful career by appearing in Quiz Show in 1994 as Robert Kirtner, Disclosure (1994) as Ben Keller alongside Demi Moore, and Amistad (1997) directed by Steven Spielberg, where he had the role of Judge Juttson.
