Gerald Stuart O'Loughlin, Jr. (December 23, 1921 – July 31, 2015), was an American television, stage, and film actor and director who was primarily known for playing tough-talking and rough-looking characters
After a stint with the United States Marine Corps, O'Loughlin used his GI Bill of Rights benefits to train at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City. Continuing to hone his skills at the Actors Studio, he would land a handful of TV and/or film roles throughout the 1950s.
O'Loughlin was a native of New York City. Before becoming an actor, he earned a college degree in mechanical engineering.
O'Laughlin served two tours of duty in the Marines. "He enlisted during World War II and was recalled to active duty during the Korean conflict."
It was during the '60s and 70s, however, that O'Loughlin would become virtually ubiquitous on TV, his workload decreasing only slightly during the century's final two decades. One of his early guest-starring role was on ABC's Going My Way, based on a 1944 film.

The second was called "Six Kilos" on March 12, 1969 (playing the same character as in "The Box"), and the third was called "A Time to Die" on September 16, 1970. He also appeared on Cannon on February 22, 1972, in the episode "Flight of the Hawks". he also appeared on episode 16 of the TV show The Green Hornet. In Season 2 Episode 22 of Mission:Impossible, he played a killer for hire.
