My Take
David White is one of those faces I recognized long before I knew the name. As Larry Tate, Darrin's boss on Bewitched from 1964 to 1972, he played the blustery advertising man so reliably that he basically defined the type. What I respect is the craft behind that: he was a stage, film and television actor, born in Denver in 1916, who'd put in serious theatrical work before sitcom immortality found him. There's something I admire about an actor content to be the perfect supporting piece rather than the star. He died in 1990, but reruns keep that exasperated, money-minded boss alive for new viewers.
