James Daly (actor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Daly (born October 23, 1918; died July 3, 1978) was an American actor born in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin.
He is best known for his role in the long-running hospital drama series Medical Center, where he played Chad Everett's superior.
He is also remembered for his portrayal of Mr. Flint (an apparently immortal human) in the Star Trek episode Requiem for Methuselah.
From 1953 to 1955, he appeared in the TV series Foreign Intrigue and also guest starred in many television series, among them Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, The Twilight Zone ("A Stop at Willoughby"), Gunsmoke, The Virginian, and Twelve O'Clock High. He was also an accomplished stage actor, and among his starring Broadway roles were in Archibald MacLeish's Pulitzer Prize winning "J.B." and Tennessee Williams' "Period of Adjustment."
James Daly's last screen feature was as Mr. Boyce in the mini-series Roots: The Next Generations. He died of heart failure in Nyack, New York, aged 59, shortly after the appearance, before the mini-series was released.
