'Felony Squad' actor Dennis Cole dies


Ex-stuntman also appeared in 'Love Boat,' 'Charlie's Angels'


By Gregg Kilday


Nov 16, 2009, 06:51 PM ET


Dennis Cole, a stuntman who rose to TV stardom in the 1966 series
"Felony Squad" and went on to dozens of guest-starring appearances
throughout the 1970s and '80s, died Sunday at Holy Cross Hospital in
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was 69.


The cause of death was not released.


Although born in Detroit, Cole had the blond, athletic look of a
quintessential California surfer, which earned him the attention of
physique magazines and led to his casting as rookie detective Jim
Briggs on "Felony." After that show's 2 1/2 year-run, Cole followed
with the series "Bracken's World" and "Bearcats!" and a stint on the
daytime soap "The Young and the Restless" that began in 1981.


Cole guest-starred on such series as "Medical Center," "Police
Story,"
"The Love Boat" and "Charlie's Angels," where he met his second wife,
Jaclyn Smith, to whom he was married from 1978-81.


He encountered tragedy in 1991 when his son Joe, from his first
marriage to Sally Ann Bergeron, was murdered during a home invasion
robbery. The case was never solved.


In recent years, Cole became a real estate broker in Fort Lauderdale
with his wife, Ree Cole, whom he recently divorced amicably. He is
survived by his brother Richard.

Mod Squad was Michael Cole.
Dennis Cole was in Felony Squad.

Yeah. That was a joke. Not a very good one, I guess.

Funny. I didn't even notice that!
Good catch. My proofreading skills need work!

Wow, yes, that's going WAY back (mid-'60s). Marion Ross was in that
one also.

He played Lance Prentiss for a year or so in the early '80s.
