In his most famous roles, Al Molinaro played "Murray the cop" on The Odd Couple, and took over Arnold's Diner on Happy Days when Pat Morita left that show. Among his other roles, he played Agent 44 on the 1960s sitcom Get Smart, and he had a supporting role in a quickly-cancelled 1990s sitcom, The Family Man, playing Gregory Harrison's father-in-law. He did TV commercials for dozens of products, and had his longest run as spokesman for Cortaid anti-itch cream and OnCor frozen foods. Molinaro was present for a Happy Days reunion special in 1992, but declined to participate in a 1993 Odd Couple reunion or a 2005 Happy Days reunion. He last worked as an actor in the early 1990s, and was reportedly working on an autobiography at the time of his death in 2015.
