Kopell's Range of Roles From Latino to Lover
Brooklyn born actor Bernie Kopell spans many disguises in TV. He started as a Latino lawyer on A Brighter Day and endured typecasting as a supporting foil in works with Danny Kaye and Jack Benny. He played Conrad Siegfried in Get Smart and spoofed as China's Shakespearean actor with Steve Allen. In The Doris Day Show he shifted from Cuban major to Italian restaurant owner and Miss Day's 70 year old uncle.
