Michael Cole
Michael Cole became a household name with his five-year role as Pete Cochrane, one-third of the leading trio in the hit crime series "The Mod Squad." When he wasn't investigating the underworld as a hip undercover cop, Cole guest-starred on many 1970s TV series including "The Love Boat" and "The New Adventures of Wonder Woman." He sporadically popped up as supporting characters on popular '80s shows such as "CHiPs" and "Murder, She Wrote." On top of a villainous turn as grown-up bully Henry Bowers in the made-for-TV adaptation of Stephen King's "It," Cole appeared in a 2006 episode of "ER" and the 2007 Kevin Costner thriller "Mr. Brooks." Michael Cole died on December 10, 2024 in Los Angeles, CA at the age of 84.
