With that said, I wanted to write about one such actor I felt was the total package when it came to character acting. He was not a leading man and may have not always been a household name, but to true movie fans and I think I am in that group, Harold Gould was an \u201cactor\u2019s actor\u201d as my dad used to say, who also dabbled in acting in the 50\u2019s and 60\u2019s. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Gould can be seen in movies and TV for nearly 50 years starting in the early 60\u2019s until 2010 in shows like The Twilight Zone, The Golden Girls, Rhoda, Cannon and Mannix to name just a few of the many TV shows he appeared on.<\/p>\n<p>In 1960, after teaching at a few colleges, he decided to act professionally. At first, he had a tough time finding acting gigs, but in 1962, he landed his first film \u201cTwo For The Seesaw\u201d starring Robert Mitchum which he was uncredited in. Later that year, he would finally get a credited small role in \u201cThe Couch\u201d starring Grant Williams.<\/p>\n<p>From there, his name got around with many parts coming in movie roles and TV work. Several years later, Gould would co-star opposite Paul Newman and Robert Redford as a conman, known as \u201cKid Twist\u201d, in the 1973 blockbuster and multiple Oscar winning nominated film, <a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?p=73436\" rel=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?p=73436\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-73438 size-medium\" style=\"margin-left: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Kid-Twist-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a>&#8220;The Sting&#8221;. This for me, was Gould\u2019s greatest role.<\/p>\n<p>Gould would go on acting for another 37 years when sadly, we lost this wonderful actor on September 11, 2010, to Prostate Cancer, at the age of 86.<\/p>\n<p>I am sure like me, you have your favorite memories of a roles Gould played.
