Charles Siebert, Actor on ‘Trapper John, M.D.,’ Dies at 84

He was kind of cute.

Sad to read this. DLers will also know him as a fabulous player of the 100,000 Pyramid.

And an excuse to hear the fantastic theme to TRAPPER JOHN M.D. once again.

I wanted to be a pair of Gonzo's scrubs so, so badly. LOL

But yes, Pernell Roberts and Charles Siebert were kinda handsome too.

Wait...Brian Mitchell....is that Brian Stokes Mitchell? Wow!

I thought he was the headmaster on the first season of Facts of Life but I was mistaken.

oh R4 that guy was kinda cute too

He had a good toupee. I remember him on ATWT as a minister Lisa was trying to snare.

I was too young to watch Trapper John M.D. live when it aired, so I best remember him from the Headless Horseman episode of Murder, She Wrote. I thought he was really handsome there (certainly more so than the town rogue who stole his fiancee...Barry Williams!), and looked him up as a result. I've still never seen an episode of Trapper John, but that theme song is really great.

Covid-related pneumonia. A sad reminder it's really not over.

He had some big biceps I remember.

Lisa! That hussy!

Has Gregory Harrison issued a statement?

R3, I wanted to be the soap that Gonzo had just scrubbed with in that shower.

Yes, Brian Mitchell was Brian Stokes Mitchell. What an incredible talent he turned out to be.

He had large thighs and a nice ass.

"Mr. Siebert was diagnosed with PTSD shortly after working closely with Bonnie Franklin on several episodes of 'One Day at a Time'; but he fought valiantly for decades to overcome the trauma and sustain both a career and his sanity. One witness on the set swore that Franklin had gone so far as to slap Siebert quite viciously, but the veracity of this claim was never proven."

Pyramid

Pyramid 2

Nice Koreatown wig he has in those two videos.

Has Christopher Norris issued a statement?

Madge Sinclair sends her love.

I thought he was so hot on One Day at a Time. Pants were always snug and he had a nice, beefy body.

I would have rewarded him thoroughly if he helped me win 10,000 dollars.

He was on Dallas as the guy who tried to prosecute Jock for killing Pam’s real father

I remember him from One Day at a Time but especially from this scene on All in the Family

Hot guy and one of the best Pyramid players ever. If you had him or Shelley Smith you were gonna win.

R15, R16, someone named "Sam Rubin" posted this comment about Siebert on Deadline:

[quote]I was a non-celebrity “civilian” contestant on the “$25,000 Pyramid,” and on the episode I appeared on – Lynn Redgrave and Charles Siebert were my stars. Both were incredibly nice and supportive and fun. Plus, I went to the “Winner’s Circle” and while I didn’t win the 25K, I did win a great trip to Tokyo and Hong Kong. Now all three well known people on that show, Lynn, Charles and Dick Clark are gone. I’d admire each of them very much. I think Charles got a real kick that his TV series gig enabled him to do extra gigs like “Pyramid.” He will be missed.

He also played Shirley's sympathetic boss on the "What's Happening" episode where she leaves the diner and gets a job with a balloon company owned by a racist. DL fave Ellen Travolta played a racist cunt in that episode.
