Michael J. Pollard 1939-2019

Michael John Pollard (born Michael John Pollack Jr.; May 30, 1939 – November 21, 2019) was an American character actor. Born in Passaic, New Jersey, Pollard attended Montclair Academy and Actors Studio in New York. In 1959, Pollard had a tiny role as a shoeshine boy in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, "Appointment at Eleven" (Season 5 Episode 3) and as Herpetologist H. Eidelpfeiffer in "Anniversary Gift" (Season 5 Episode 6). Pollard also portrayed Homer McCauley, the dramatic lead, in a television adaptation of William Saroyan's novel The Human Comedy, narrated by Burgess Meredith. That same year Pollard appeared in the episode "The Unknown Town" of David Hedison's 16-segment NBC espionage TV series Five Fingers. Later that same year, Pollard appeared in episode five of CBS's The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis as Jerome Krebs, the first cousin of Maynard G. Krebs, played by Bob Denver. Pollard created the non-singing role of Hugo Peabody in the original Broadway production of Bye Bye Birdie, and appeared in the short-lived Robert Young comedy/drama series Window on Main Street in the episode "The Boy Who Got Too Many Laughs". In 1966, he portrayed Bernie in an NBC espionage series, I Spy, in the episode "Trial by Treehouse" (October 19, 1966). Pollard was noted for his short stature, which allowed him to play youthful roles well into his twenties. One such notable role included the teenage-leader of an all-child planet in the haunting, iconic episode "Miri" on the original Star Trek series. He also appeared in the memorable first season episode of Irwin Allen's Lost In Space as a nameless Peter Pan-like boy who lives in the dimension behind all mirrors ("The Magic Mirror"). In 1967, he played the supporting role of C. W. Moss in Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde, alongside Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Gene Hackman, and Estelle Parsons, for which he received Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Supporting Actor. Also in 1967, Pollard played the lead role in Derek May's short drama, Niagara Falls. Pollard starred in Dirty Little Billy (1972), a revisionist biography of Billy the Kid at the beginning of his criminal career, set in Coffeyville, Kansas. In 1987, Pollard played the role of an inquisitive volunteer firefighter, Andy, in the film Roxanne, starring Steve Martin. The following year Pollard played the role of Herman (the homeless man who thought Bill Murray was Richard Burton) in the popular holiday movie Scrooged. Pollard played Bug Bailey in the popular 1990 film Dick Tracy. Pollard continued to work in film and television into the 21st century, including his appearance as "Stucky" in the 2003 Rob Zombie-directed cult classic House of 1000 Corpses. Pollard passed away from cardiac arrest in Los Angeles, California on November 21, 2019 at the age of 80.
