BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Ray Walston, who played the lovable extraterrestrial Uncle Martin on the 1960s sitcom "My Favorite Martian" and the devil in the Broadway musical "Damn Yankees," has died. He was 86.
The actor, who died Monday at his home in Beverly Hills, was a bantam figure with an improbably deep, authoritative voice.
He made a career playing kind-hearted cranks, including the acerbic Judge Henry Bone in the TV series "Picket Fences" and the crusty, slacker-hating history teacher Mr. Hand in the 1982 comedy "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."
