Biography
Blonde, blue-eyed supporting, character, and occasional leading actor Richard Mulligan has worked on stage, screen, and television. He made his feature-film debut in Love With the Proper Stranger (1963), but only occasionally appeared in movies through the early '70s. One of his notable roles was that of the arrogant General Custer opposite Dustin Hoffman in Arthur Penn's Western epic Little Big Man (1970). Mulligan made his first TV appearance in the telepic Pueblo (1973). His film career has encompassed a wide variety of genres, but in the late '70s, he turned primarily to comedy. On television, Mulligan is best known for playing Burt Campbell on the long-running comedy Soap (1977-1981) and for his Emmy-winning portrayal of Dr. Harry Weston on the sitcom Empty Nest (1988-1995). His older brother, Robert Mulligan, is a director.
Mulligan was cremated, and no memorial service was held, at his own request.
Won two Emmys for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series. However, he finally accepted his Emmy in 1989 for "Empty Nest" (1988) because in 1980 he had been participating in the Screen Actors' Guild strike at the time of the 32nd annual Emmy awards, during which he had won for "Soap" (1977).
Studied playwrighting at Columbia University.
Was Jason Robards's stand-by in the 1962 Broadway production of "A Thousand Clowns."
He has a son, James.
Ex-wife Rachel Ryan was 29 years younger than he was.
