Biography

American utility actor John Pleshette has been seen on screen since 1970. Pleshette's first regular TV role was Dr. Danvers in the 1975 series Doctor's Hospital. One of his handful of starring assignments was the title character in the speculative TV movie The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald (1978). Knot's Landing fans will remember Pleshette as arrogant, duplicitous attorney Richard Avery, a role he filled from 1979 to 1983. John Pleshette is no relation to actress Suzanne Pleshette. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

John Pleshette
Born July 27, 1942 (aged 66)
New York City

John Pleshette (born July 27, 1942) is an American actor, perhaps best known for being an original cast member of the long-running primetime television drama Knots Landing playing Richard Avery. He was cast in the role of Richard partly because Knots Landing creator David Jacobs was acquainted with Pleshette's work, partly because of Pleshette being the husband of Jacobs' Ex-Wife Literary Agent Lynn Pleshette. Pleshette bears a strong resemblance to Lee Harvey Oswald and played him in the 1977 television film The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald. He is the cousin of the late actress Suzanne Pleshette.
