Old Hollywood Actors Who Starred in Night Gallery

A Vintage Nerd, Old Hollywood Blog, Classic TV Blog, Night Gallery, Old Hollywood Actors in Night Gallery, Classic TV Shows

Six years after the final episode of The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) aired, Rod Serling came back to host a new show called Night Gallery (1970-1973). While Night Gallery wasn't on air as long as The Twilight Zone, forty-three episodes aired that included ninety-three segments and a pilot. The premise of this show was that Serling was an art curator who would introduce a macabre tale and then unveil a painting that depicted the story. Both the paintings and stories had a darker feel to them than anything seen on The Twilight Zone.

This is a list of Old Hollywood actors with a photo of each of the episodes in Night Gallery that they starred in. Some Old Hollywood stars had bit parts like Orson Welles narrating "Silent Snow, Street Snow" (1971) or starring roles like Leslie Nielsen in "Phantom of What Opera?" (1971). No matter how large or small their roles were they each gave convincingly creepy performances. 

Here is an ultimate list of over 100 Old Hollywood actors who starred in Night Gallery:

  1. Whew! That's a lot of guest stars. The fun part of those anthology series was seeing who the guest star would be. This one certainly had its share!

    1. I couldn't agree more! I think I missed a few too haha But this is as near to a complete list as I could muster. It is a lot. I love anthology shows and films-so fun to see all the guest stars! Thank you for stopping by! xox

  2. I love Rod Serling and I'm a huge Twilight Zone fan, but I never really watched Night Gallery -- even the opening title sequence was too creepy for me (I'm a big ol' scaredy cat from way back.). I've only seen one episode that I know of -- the one with Patty Duke, and that was only within the last few months! I enjoyed looking at all of the stars who appeared on the show, though -- who knew? I hope to screw my courage to the sticking place and check out the episodes with Godfrey Cambridge, Joan Crawford, Edward G. Robinson, Carl Reiner and Mickey Rooney. Wish me luck -- and thank you for participating in the blogathon!

  3. These shows also featured actors who would soon become much better known, like Randolph Mantooth (in the foreground) in "Class of '99" (Brandon DeWilde made one of his last tv appearances in the same episode.), and Larry Linville, soon to be on MASH, in "The Academy".

    Desi Arnaz, Jr. (in the foreground with E.G. Marshall in "Death in the Family") was playing a 22-year-old when he was just 18.

    Norman Lloyd in his long life never appeared on TWILIGHT ZONE, maybe because he was too busy those years producing and at least once acting on Hitchcock's various shows.
