Stuart Margolin (born January 31, 1940) is an American film and television actor and director. Margolin is stepfather to actor Max Martini and costume designer Michelle Martini.
Margolin is best known for playing Evelyn "Angel" Martin, the shifty friend and former jailmate of Jim Rockford (James Garner) on the television show The Rockford Files. See Episodes with Angel Martin. Margolin won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor – Drama Series in this role, in 1979 and 1980; he is one of only five actors to win this award twice for the same role.
In 1969 Margolin wrote and co-produced The Ballad of Andy Crocker, an ABC television movie that was one of the first films to deal with the subject matter of Vietnam veterans "coming home".
Margolin played Rabbi David Small in the 1976 movie, Lanigan's Rabbi, based on the series of mystery novels written by Harry Kemelman. Scheduling conflicts prevented him from continuing the role in the short-lived TV series of the same name that aired in 1977 as part of the "NBC Sunday Mystery Movie," where Small was played by Bruce Solomon. Margolin was earlier paired with James Garner in a 1971-72 TV Western series entitled Nichols, where he played a character somewhat similar to the Angel character he played in The Rockford Files. That show only lasted for one season. Margolin appeared in two episodes of the television series M*A*S*H ("Bananas, Crackers and Nuts", "Operation Noselift"), The Partridge Family ("Go Directly to Jail", "A Penny for His Thoughts), The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda, an episode of Land of the Giants ("The Mechanical Man"), Twelve O'Clock High ("Mutiny at Ten Thousand Feet"), The Monkees ("Monkees Watch Their Feet"), Love, American Style (where he was a member of the Love American Style Players), The Fall Guy (where he played Ace Cochran in the Molly Sue) and Magnum, P.I. His brother Arnold Margolin was the executive producer of the Love, American Style series. In May 2009, Margolin appeared on an episode of 30 Rock, opposite Alan Alda; it was the first time the two actors appeared together since M*A*S*H in 1974. Margolin appears in the 2009 CTV/CBS police drama series The Bridge.
