Roger Lee Garrett (July 16, 1940 – May 23, 2000) was an American actor. He acted on stage, and played supporting roles in television series and films. He had a starring role in the West Coast production of Fortune and Men's Eyes (1969), and a starring role in the horror/thriller motion picture Night of the Cobra Woman (1972).
Some of the big name performers that Garrett appeared opposite are Elizabeth Montgomery, Barbara Eden, Larry Hagman, Don Johnson, Jacqueline Bisset, Tuesday Weld, and Jack Nicholson.
He was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Gordon Glen Garrett (1909-1970) and Betty Zane Marshall (c. 1922-?), who were married on June 8, 1939 in Flagstaff, Arizona.
On September 8, 1962, he and Janice Conroy (born c. 1944) were married in Los Angeles. They had a daughter, Tania Garrett (born January 1, 1963).
Garrett first appeared on television as Clyde Farnsworth, a warlock who had turned himself into an obnoxious chair because Samantha rejected him, in a 1966 episode of Bewitched. That was followed with an episode of I Dream of Jeannie.
He toured with a stage production of The Impossible Years in 1968, and was then cast by director Sal Mineo to star in the role as Mona in the West Coast premiere of the controversial gay-themed prison drama Fortune and Men's Eyes by playwright John Herbert.
