Don Stroud Movies
The son of entertainer Clarence Stroud,
Don Stroud made his first film appearance in the 1967 Diabolique clone
Games (1967). Handsome and solidly built, Stroud has prospered in meaty second-lead and character roles. Most frequently cast as a short-fused detective, Stroud was seen on television as Sgt. Mike Varrick on
Kate Loves a Mystery (1979), as Captain Pat Chambers on
Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer (1984-87) and as Captain Lussen on the 1989 syndicated revival of Dragnet. Don Stroud has remained active into the 1990s, frequently in such instant-videocassette fare as
Carnosaur 2 (1995). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
