Distinguished-looking actor Kevin McCarthy died Saturday at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, MA. He was 96 and lived in Sherman Oaks, CA. Mr. McCarthy acted in several Broadway plays when he was spotted by Elia Kazan who cast him as Biff, the elder son of Willy Loman in the London stage production of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. Mr. McCarthy went on to portray Biff in the 1951 film version which earned him an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. Five years later in 1956, Mr. McCarthy was cast in a low-budget B movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers which was named one of the Top 10 science fiction films of all time by the American Film Institute in 2008. Throughout the rest of his career, Mr. McCarthy played hundreds of roles in feature films and also on television including The Studio in the 1950s to the more recent The District in 2000. He also toured the US playing Harry S. Truman in the one-man show Give ‘Em Hell, Harry for twenty years, including at Boston’s Charles Playhouse where I was honored to have worked with him. Mr. McCarthy’s last appearances were in the film Wesley in 2008 and the short film I Do. He is survived by his second wife, Kate Crane, three daughters, two sons, a stepdaughter, a brother, and three grandchildren.
