Biography:"Kevin Dobson" labored as a trainman, brakeman and conductor for the Long Island Railroad in his pre-acting days. While he has done plenty of stage work, Dobson is best known for his TV accomplishments. He was signed in 1973 for what turned out to be a five-year run on "Kojak", playing "Telly Savalas"' trusted assistant (and occasional punching bag) Detective Bobby Crocker; when "Kojak" was revived as an occasional series in 1989, Dobson guest-starred as Crocker (now a state prosecutor) in one episode. In 1981, Dobson starred in the San Francisco-filmed cop series "Shannon", which lasted but a single season. The very next year, "Kevin Dobson" launched his longest series-TV stint in the role of attorney M. Patrick McKenzie, second husband of Karen Fairgate ("Michelle Lee"),on the prime-time serial "Knots Landing". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
