Michael Cole, who as a star of 'The Mod Squad' was one of an iconic trio in late-1960s television, has died. He was 84.
Michael Cole, who starred as one-third of 'The Mod Squad,' has died. He was 84. The actor played Pete Cochran in the hit ABC crime show that aired from 1968 to ’73. Cole died Tuesday, his Atlanta-based talent agent Christy Clark confirmed to The Times. On the tail of a decade of civil unrest due to the Vietnam War and the midcentury civil rights movement, 'The Mod Squad' made fighting crime cool to the younger generation's counterculture.
Adam Greer worked with them so they could avoid jail time. The trio blended into the crime scenes — and among the suspects — they investigated. Cole told The Times that he kept in touch with co-stars Lipton and Williams, who died in 2019 and 2021, respectively. He also said he was a fan of the 1979 TV-movie revival 'The Return of the Mod Squad,' which he said captured 'the bonding and caring' that was at the heart of the original.
