    Actor Frazer, Capt. McNeil on 'Kojak,' dies in NYC

    NEW YORK (AP) — Veteran film and television actor Dan Frazer, best known for his role as Captain Frank McNeil on the 1970s television series "Kojak," has died in New York. He was 90.

    Frazer's daughter, Susanna Frazer, said Sunday her father died of cardiac arrest Dec. 16 at his home in Manhattan. She described him as a "very truthful, naturalistic actor."

    Frazer started playing character roles in various television series and films in the 1950s. His films include "Cleopatra Jones," ''Take the Money and Run" ''Gideon's Trumpet" and "Deconstructing Harry." Besides "Kojak," Frazer's television appearances include "Car 54, Where Are You," ''Route 66," ''Barney Miller" and "Law & Order."

    He was a member of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and an adviser to The Workshop Theatre Co.

      I'm sick of Yahoo's little strip ad, across the bottom of the my monitor that moves when I scroll..Good Lord, when is it ENOUGH advertisements ??? There already is no place to click on a page anymore without clicking on some ad. And it just keeps getting worse..

        Me too. But I guess it beats having to pay a fee to read stuff here!
      • Michael 5 mths ago
        With all the advertisements I'm ready to go back to the radio for news!

        I have the same thing to happen, at least I can click the x on it to get rid of it the mobile bar that is.
    • anonymous  •  5 mths ago
      Great actor. Lousy story. Where is the pic? Even a file photo from Kojak.
    • Robert R  •  Capitol Heights, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Yes, I can find it myself, but including a pic with the story would be respectful
    • Susan Caldwell  •  Reno, United States  •  5 mths ago
      again....no picture
      • Jen Ritter 5 mths ago
        how hard is it to google him,then?
      • ooo 5 mths ago
        I'm with you. How they let this half story get posted is beyond me. Whatever happened to good journalism when you had a beginning, middle, and an end with photos to back up your story? This article could've been better written by a two year old.

        Jen, are you from Marengo?
    • allenjinx  •  Elkview, United States  •  5 mths ago
      would it be THAT hard to publish a picture with the story??
      • JohnnyAmerican69 5 mths ago
        thank you...
      • fedup 5 mths ago
        Could be no one recognizes the name, but MIGHT recognize a picture!
      • F1FAN 5 mths ago
        That would require actual work and doing their job,probably not going to happen......it's a liberal media,lazy!
    • Tom  •  Ocala, United States  •  5 mths ago
      They seem to have no problem finding room for that RETARDED strip ad on the bottom of my screen ,but no picture of Frazer go figure!!!
      • Hounddoggin 5 mths ago
        Exactly what I was thinking.
      • Digger 5 mths ago
        AMEN!
      • Tim 5 mths ago
        The retarded strip that allows you to use Yahoo for free? Care to pay for a year of their bandwidth?
    • SickOfThisWitchAlready  •  5 mths ago
      You shouldn't have to google a pic when there's an article about a person dying. Pic should be supplied with the article.
    • Autoad  •  Bolton, United States  •  5 mths ago
      A picture would have been nice.
    • MJ  •  5 mths ago
      Is a picture to much work to include? If you're going to honor someone's life, at least do it right!
    • G  •  5 mths ago
      Whew...good thing there's no picture otherwise, we might know who the articles is about.
    • doc  •  5 mths ago
      Why is it that Yahoo can have pictures of 2 different actresses wearing the same dress on separate occasions three months apart, but no picture in an item like this? I'm pretty sure I know who they're talking about, but a picture would really help this news item.
    • MJ  •  5 mths ago
      Just because he's an old-timer doesn't make him less relevant. The shows were a hell of a lot better back when Kojak was on.
    • Little Richie  •  Fort Lauderdale, United States  •  5 mths ago
      As usual, no picture of the guy.....keep up the 'good' work yahoo.
    • Ed Triana  •  North Port, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Once again....No picture...But they sure have space to put in ads!
    • lois911  •  Indianapolis, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Is it so hard to post a picture?
    • BBC  •  Chicago, United States  •  5 mths ago
      You think they could post the guys picture................
    • Robert  •  Seoul, South Korea  •  5 mths ago
      Yet another totally fu****king useless yahoo job: no photo!! is it laziness or just sheer lack of concern for its customers?
    • Mernie  •  Columbus, United States  •  5 mths ago
      It would be nice to have a picture, to jog the memory
    • Doczod  •  Ocala, United States  •  5 mths ago
