His many TV appearances include the recurring role of Harvey Helm on the Bob Cummings sitcom "Love That Bob!" and Herb Thornton on the 1965-66 family comedy "Please Don't Eat the Daisies". Long married to comedienne Imogene Coca, King Donovan frequently co-starred with his wife in such stage productions as The Girls of 509 and his last theatrical effort, 1982's "Nothing Lasts Forever". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
