My Take
Bernie Kopell is, to me, a masterclass in the value of a great character actor. As Siegfried in Get Smart and Doc on The Love Boat, he was never the lead, yet he gave those shows a reliable warmth that held everything together. A Brooklyn kid out of Erasmus Hall who could write as well as act across stage, film and television, he embodies the durable, unflashy professional that productions are lucky to have. There is something deeply likable about a performer who works steadily for decades without chasing the spotlight, and I hope he keeps going for years yet.
