Stage, screen and TV character actor Harris Yulin, 87, died on June 10. He was seen on Broadway in Watch on the Rhine, A Lesson from Aloes, The Visit, The Diary of Anne Frank, and Hedda Gabler; he also toured in many Shakespeare plays, and co-founded the Los Angeles Classic Theater. From 1970 through last year, Yulin appeared in nearly 200 films and TV shows, including Little House on the Prairie, Night Moves, Wonder Woman, Dynasty, Scarface, Robert Kennedy and His Times (as Joe McCarthy), Ghostbusters II, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Stuart Saves His Family, Cutthroat Island, The X-Files, Rush Hour 2, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 24, Entourage, and Murphy Brown. Yulin once said that “I really know theater because that's where I started. I went at it in a very haphazard way. It was not orderly at all. I didn't go to a proper school or anything like that. I did a little bit of studying here or there...Jeff Corey (and at one class in New York) someone said something that helped me a great deal. And then I just learned by doing it.”
