Actor Born: January 2, 1932 in DuQuoin, IL Biography:Red-headed, ruddy-faced American supporting actor "Ken Swofford" made his movie debut in 1964's "Father Goose." Swofford hit his peak on television in the 1970s and 1980s, playing explosive, loudmouthed, stuffy types. He was brilliant as Winchell-like columnist Frank Flannagan in the weekly 1975 version of "Ellery Queen," then went on to essay subtler variations of this character in "Switch" (1975-78) and "The Eddie Capra Mysteries" (1978-79). He was one of the singular delights of the syndicated version of "Fame" (1983-87), as the kids' perennial nemesis, vice-principal Morloch. Off camera, the affable Swofford got along famously with his young "Fame" co-stars, and was one of the series' biggest boosters on the promotional-tour circuit. More recently, Ken Swofford was seen in the recurring role of Lt. Capalano in "Murder She Wrote" (1984-96). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
