Though mostly known by TV viewers for playing bad guys (particularly whenever he appeared on shows produced by Quinn Martin), Peter Mark starred as good guys both on Longstreet and Cain’s Hundred, plus he played Chrissy’s father, Reverend Snow, on the early years of Three’s Company. He also enjoyed a concurrent career as a writer for the stage, for film, and long and short fiction. Topics this segment how Peter Mark’s writing career began during the Golden Age of Television, with encouragement from Paddy Chayefsky; why he particularly liked writing short stories; his long association with Quinn Martin, which began in the early 1950s; and working with director Martin Ritt in The Black Orchid.
