Career
Madden first gained notice as a milk-drinking, confetti-throwing sad sack on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In from 1968-69. However, he became better known for his role as Reuben Kincaid, the harried agent for The Partridge Family (1970–74). Partridge co-star Danny Bonaduce has said that he owes a lot to Madden, who took him into his home during his family's domestic strife. Madden also made guest appearances on other TV series such as Bewitched, Happy Days, The Love Boat and Fantasy Island. He had a recurring role on Alice as one of the customers of Mel's Diner and Tommy's basketball coach Earl Hicks. His last guest appearance was on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch where he played Dr. Egglehoffer.
Since 1988, Madden has voiced several characters on Focus on the Family's radio drama Adventures in Odyssey. In 1990, he received his own regular character in the curmudgeonly window-washer Bernard Walton.[1]
In 1995, Madden appeared on the sitcom Boy Meets World on the episode "Rave On".
As of 2004, he is semi-retired and living in Florida. While in retirement, he wrote his memoir, Reuben On Wry.
