Biography:Open-faced, bulb-nosed character actor "John Larch" entered films in 1954, appearing mostly in westerns and outdoor adventures. During the "crime exposé" film cycle, Larch alternated between playing honest cops and dirty-palmed politicos. An old crony of actor/director "Clint Eastwood", Larch appeared in such Eastwood efforts as "Dirty Harry" (1971) and "Play Misty For Me" (1972). His TV work has included weekly roles on two briefies of the 1960s, Arrest and Trial (1963) and "Convoy" (1965). Twilight Zone fans will instantly recognize "John Larch" as the walking-on-eggs father of malevolent telekinetic youngster Anthony Fremont ("Billy Mumy") in the 1961 "Zone" chiller "It's a Good Life." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
