Michael Conrad (October 16, 1925 - November 22, 1983) was an American television actor who was born in New York. Conrad had a long acting career in television from the 1950s to the 1980s. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of veteran cop Phil Esterhaus on Hill Street Blues, in which he ended the introductory roll call to each week's show with "Let's be careful out there". Conrad won two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in Hill Street Blues in 1981 and 1982. He died from urethral cancer in November 1983 during the show's fourth season.

Filmography

Conrad had a memorable role in the 1974 film, The Longest Yard, playing Nate Scarboro, a retired NFL tight end (NY Giants) and who was also an assistant coach for the Mean Machine, the team of prisoners put together by Burt Reynolds' character Paul Crewe to play the team of guards.
