Biography

Larry Ward (October 3, 1924 – February 16, 1985) was an American actor who appeared in many films and television series. Ward studied at a number of universities before joining the United States Navy, where he served for three years. Enrolling in the American Theatre Wing under the G.I. Bill of Rights, Ward soon appeared in several outstanding productions. Ward got his break in 1962 while he was visiting the Warner Brothers studio to discuss a film script with producer Jules Schermer, who was so impressed with his appearance that he gave him a minor part as Blake Stevens in the episode "The Holdout" of the western series Lawman, starring John Russell and Peter Brown, which was filming the following morning during its last season on the air.
