I remember him for a moving performance in a strong Cold Case episode about gay cops who were lovers in the late '60s. That's the first time I ever heard "My Back Pages," as it was used for the last scene, which really got me at the time.
The last place I saw him was in one of Cinemax's very last softcore shows, Chemistry, where he was the father of the male lead and all his scenes were on a houseboat. Sally Kellerman was also there.
I'm not entirely sure what went on with him after MC to help his career decline. When I used to read some of the old TV gossip magazines some from the early '70s had messy articles about him dealing with a paternity claim or something along those lines (IIRC he was vindicated).
