Peter Mark Richman, who made numerous film and TV appearances including recurring roles in “Beverly Hills 90210” and “Three’s Company,” and toplined the early 1960s series “Cain’s Hundred,” died Thursday in Woodland Hills, Calif. He was 93.

Richman was born in Philadelphia and worked as a pharmacist before joining the Actors Studio in New York. Starting his career onstage, he appeared in “End as a Man,” “A Hatful of Rain,” “Masquerade” and “The Zoo Story.”

He moved to Hollywood to appear in William Wyler’s “The Friendly Persuasion,” going on to appear in films including “Black Orchid,” “The Strange One,” “Naked Gun 2” and “Friday the 13th Part 8.”

In “Cain’s Hundred,” he starred as Nick Cain, a former underworld lawyer gone straight. Though it only ran for one season, the series led to hundreds more TV gigs on shows including “The Twilight Zone,” “The Outer Limits,” “Murder She Wrote,” “Fantasy Island,” and “Star Trek the Next Generation.”

On “Three’s Company,” he played the Reverend Snow, while on “Beverly Hills 90210” he had co-starring roles on “Dynasty” and “Longstreet.”

Richman continued working in theater, including mounting his own works, “4 Faces” and “A Medal for Murray.” He also wrote novels, short stories, and was an accomplished painter.

The Motion Picture and Television Fund awarded the Silver Medallion to Richman for his charitable work, and he also received the Sybil Brand Humanitarian Award from the Jeffrey Foundation.

He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Helen Richman; five children, Howard Richman and his wife, Cherie, Kelly Lester and her husband, Loren, Lucas Richman and his wife, Debbie, Orien Richman and his wife, Alevé, and Roger Richman; as well as six grandchildren, Jenny, Lily, Max, Julia, Oliver and Danica.

Sad news, I thought he was a great actor! 93 years old is a long blessed life! Rest in peace!

I just recently re-watched the first episode with Richman as Reverend Snow (Chrissy's father) in S02. Very good actor.

I also thought Richman had already passed. Sad news, but living to age 93 is great - he lived a lot longer than most people.

He was great choice for the role. Does he have the most episodes for a recurring actor in a guest role ? I know Felipe and Angelino were in several episodes.

Jim the Bartender, Mike the Bartender, Angelino, Felipe, and Dean Travers appeared in more. Linda and Reverend Snow were in 3 each.

Just a little trivia to obscure Threes Company facts. At the time of his death
Richman was the oldest living individual ever to appear on the show. In contrast
Brian Kend who is 43 is youngest living actor. The Babysitters S2 E17
played Baby Jonathan.

Hope I didn’t blow your heads up. Lol
