John Larch Movies
Open-faced, bulb-nosed character actor
John Larch entered films in 1954, appearing mostly in westerns and outdoor adventures. During the "crime exposé" film cycle, Larch alternated between playing honest cops and dirty-palmed politicos. An old crony of actor/director
Clint Eastwood, Larch appeared in such Eastwood efforts as
Dirty Harry (1971) and
Play Misty For Me (1972). His TV work has included weekly roles on two briefies of the 1960s, Arrest and Trial (1963) and Convoy (1965). Twilight Zone fans will instantly recognize
John Larch as the walking-on-eggs father of malevolent telekinetic youngster Anthony Fremont (
Billy Mumy) in the 1961 Zone chiller "It's a Good Life." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
