Guest Star POW 5/23 ~ Ian Wolfe

Post by CowgirlAtHeart »

Ian Wolfe was on Bonanza four times. He was Ed Baxter in "The Avenger," John J. Harrison the bank owner in "Bank Run," Gideon Flinch in "The Many Faces of Gideon Flinch," and Amos in "The Spotlight." Here he is as crabby John J. Harrison in "Bank Run."

Ian Wolfe, who was born in 1896, was an enormously prolific actor, having over 300 screen acting credits to his name (plus a lot of stage acting). He appeared on the original Star Trek series, The Virginian, and The Partridge Family. He was in You Can't Take It With You (a favorite movie of mine, starring Jimmy Stewart), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Song of Bernadette, and Mutiny on the Bounty. Although Ian seemed pretty old in his Bonanza episodes (he was in his sixties at the time), he continued acting until 1990, appearing in Dick Tracy when he was 94 years old! Ian was married and had two children. He wrote poetry in his spare time. He passed away in 1992.
