Biography:Possibly in defiance of the old adage "those that can't do, teach," American actor "Harold Gould" gave up a comfortable professorship in the drama department of the University of California to become a performer himself. Building up stage and TV credits from the late '50s onward, Gould made his first film, "Two for the Seesaw", in 1962. He divided his time between stage and screen for the rest of the '60s, winning an Obie Award for the off-Broadway production Difficulty of Concentration. Gould was prominently cast in such slick '70s products as "The Sting" (1973), "Woody Allen"'s "Love and Death" (1975), and "Mel Brooks"' "Silent Movie" (1976) (as a classically gesticulating villain). Often nattily attired and usually comporting himself like a wealthy self-made businessman, Gould was generously employed on TV for three decades. He co-starred with "Daniel J. Travanti" in the 1988 "American Playhouse"... Full Biography
