We’re sad to hear of the death of #AllanRich (1926–2020) — a familiar face for 50 years in movies like SERPICO (1973) + QUIZ SHOW (1994) + pretty much every TV show in the ’70s and ’80shttps://t.co/uSeUnSi2Q2 pic.twitter.com/JkSzaNbTLR

A sterling performer. Particularly great in “Quiz Show,” and also in “Disclosure.” And note @frandrescher’s amazing tribute in the article. Rest In Peace, #AllanRich. https://t.co/MxBvZlbBrz

He was a great actor. He starred in a pilot I did almost 30 years ago. Consummate pro. I was too young to appreciate the kindness he was doing me. RIP

I also recall him from a couple Barney Miller episodes. Had a great role as a producer of a play trying to settle a dispute between the writer and an actor. “And you! Actor! The man wrote you a nice play.

He had the b & b files. I like how your dad dismissed him by the tone of his voice when he said, “You’re a real crusader.”
