He portrayed Charles Jackson, the father of the lead female character of Annie Camden (portrayed by
Catherine Hicks) over 16 episodes during the first seven seasons of the long running hit TV show,
7th Heaven (1996). He would have continued recurring in the role, had he not died of cancer close to the approximate end of the 2002-2003 (seventh) season, while the series continued on for a further four seasons, ending in 2007.
