colonial Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Friends and colleagues of his are reporting on social media that character actor Robert Mandan passed away last week at age 86. If you needed to cast a comedic "stuffy shirt" type in the 70s and 80s, Robert was your guy. Chester Tate on Soap, James Bradford on Three's a Crowd. Also loved him as the HS principal in Zapped! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
