Conrad John Schuck, Jr. (born February 4, 1940) is an American actor, primarily in stage, movies and television. He is best known for his roles as police commissioner Rock Hudson's assistant, Sgt. Charles Enright, in the 1970s crime drama McMillan & Wife, and as Lee Meriwether's husband, Herman Munster, in the 1980s sitcom, The Munsters Today, in which he reprised the role originated by Fred Gwynne.
Schuck is also known for his work on Star Trek movies and television series, often playing a Klingon character, as well as his recurring roles as Draal on Babylon 5 and as Chief of Detectives Muldrew of the New York City Police Department in the Law & Order programs, especially Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Schuck was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of Mary (née Hamilton) and Conrad John Schuck, Sr., a professor at SUNY Buffalo, of English and German descent.
He made his first theatrical appearances at Denison University, and after graduating continued his career at the Cleveland Play House, Baltimore's Center Stage, and finally the American Conservatory Theater, where he was discovered by Robert Altman. Schuck's first appearance in film was the role of Capt. Walter Kosciusko "Painless Pole" Waldowski in Altman's film M*A*S*H (1970). As Painless, Schuck holds a place in Hollywood history as the first person to utter the word “fuck[ing]” in a major studio film. He went on to appear in several more Altman films: Brewster McCloud (1970), McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971), and Thieves Like Us (1974).
