January 6, 1924 - November 3, 2015 David B. Graham passed away at the age of 91 following a brief illness. David was an icon in the Hollywood entertainment world as an actor, agent, casting director, and producer. He cast noteworthy shows including Three's Company and Small Wonder and award-winning movies such as Purple Rain and Turning Point. He remained active until the very end and could be seen daily on Larchmont Blvd where he would reminisce with all who loved stage or screen and always had a treat for any canine passer-by. He was an active supporter of S.T.A.G.E., the world's longest running AIDS benefit, and his home was filled with awards and tributes. Most importantly he never met a person in need who he would not try to help. He is survived by his sister, Elaine Graham, many cousins, and friends around the world.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like he was on Three's Company from the second unaired pilot until the end of Season 6. I wonder why he left after that.

Maybe he didn't want to commute to the new studio they relocated to. I could picture myself doing something like that, lol. Driving in Austin traffic sucks, and it's even worse in L.A.

Good point, I didn't think of that.

I see on his IMDB page that he also was a casting director for Mazes and Monsters, the tv movie about a young man who becomes obsessed with a Dungeons and Dragons-type game, starring a very young Tom Hanks. Good casting choice.
