Hal Roach Jr. (June 15, 1918 - March 29, 1972) was primarily a film and television producer and very occasional director, with 41 production credits listed in the Internet Movie Database.
Born in Los Angeles, the son of legendary comedy producer Hal Roach and actress Marguerite Nichols, Roach co-directed One Million B.C. with his father.
Roach produced individual episodes of many early television series but no well-known films aside from those directly involving his father. He died in 1972, at the age of 53 after falling ill with pneumonia. His father outlived him for an additional twenty years, dying at the age of 100 in 1992. Roach is buried in Calvary Cemetery, East Los Angeles.
