Trivia
Originally a carpenter from Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, he was chosen to play Abraham Lincoln in two television docudramas because of a strong resemblance to the president. He was seen as Lincoln in "They've Killed President Lincoln!" (1971) and "The Surrender at Appomattox" (1972) - both non-speaking roles.
