An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/lesbJXEoE7wctI3mVQtOKA==, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

After the war, he began working on Broadway, acting on stage during the late 1940s and most of the 1950s. He started to appear on television in the early fifties, shortly followed by film. Parfrey soon became one of the most interesting character actors to appear on American televison and film in the 1960s, bringing a quirky charisma to every character that he played, from shopkeepers to space-age simians. His noted turn as the unbalanced informer in Broadway's Advise and Consent (1961) set the standard for his offbeat, conspiratorial persona in dozens of TV and movie appearances into the 1980s.

abstract	After the war, he began working on Broadway, acting on stage during the late 1940s and most of the 1950s. He started to appear on television in the early fifties, shortly followed by film. Parfrey soon became one of the most interesting character actors to appear on American televison and film in the 1960s, bringing a quirky charisma to every character that he played, from shopkeepers to space-age simians. His noted turn as the unbalanced informer in Broadway's Advise and Consent (1961) set the standard for his offbeat, conspiratorial persona in dozens of TV and movie appearances into the 1980s. Parfrey has played many focal TV guest star roles, mainly in the late sixties, and a few big A-movie parts, most notably as one of the wretched prisoners in Papillon (1973). His association with that film's director, Franklin Schaffner, also included a bit part as one of the three "See No Evil" orangutan judges in Planet of the Apes (1968). (He would don the prosthetics again a few years later for the pilot of the spinoff TV series.) In addition, Parfrey also turned up in the unofficial repretory companies of both Clint Eastwood and Don Siegel. Among his credits were appearances in Combat!, The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Name of the Game, Police Story, Get Smart, I Dream of Jeannie, Lost in Space, Gunsmoke, Have Gun – Will Travel, Studio One, The King's Pirate, Planet of the Apes, The Sunshine Patriot, Eight is Enough, Room 222, When Every Day Was the Fourth of July, Police Woman, Baretta, The Sting II and Remington Steele. His determination to bring that edgy "something extra" to his profession lives on in his son, the "underground" publisher Adam Parfrey. He died in Los Angeles, California from a heart attack.
