Didn't realize how old he was but yeah, that would make sense. One of my sisters used to love Dr. Kildaire.

He was in so so much. Movies and miniseries.

One thing that comes to mind (since they have recently remade it) -

and The Three Musketeers (1973) -

The Thornbirds (1983) -

Damn. R.I.P. and thank you for your decades of entertainment.
