I recall he did play a good guy in one of the last episodes of "The Twilight Zone", and he did play the father of Chrissy (Suzanne Somers) on "Three's Company", so he did occasionally play a good guy.
On the other hand, it was a kick to see him alongside fellow TV-show vets Lloyd Bochner and Tim O'Connor as villains in "Naked Gun 2 1/2".
Nice to see you back, Dex!
