On the big screen, Anderson had roles in such films as "Ride the High Country," "The Satan Bug," and "Eight Men Out." Fans of the "Smokey and the Bandit" franchise will remember his appearance as the outgoing Texas governor in the series' second installment. He's perhaps best remembered for playing " California Charlie," the used car salesman who sells Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) a new vehicle in Alfred Hitchcock's " Psycho." His lanky figure made him a favorite of TV westerns like "Gunsmoke," "Bonanza," and "The Rifleman," but he also made appearances on "M*A*S*H," "The Twilight Zone," and "Perry Mason," to name but a few. Born on October 20, 1922, Anderson got his start on Broadway with roles in such shows as "Paint Your Wagon" before moving into film and television.
