Vachik Mangassarian died Saturday of COVID complications.
Born in Iran of Armenian descent in 1943, Mangassarian came to the U.S. in the mid-1960s, working in theater and occasionally returning to Iran, where he had roles in films including some by Iranian director Samuel Khachikian. He eventually landed his first Hollywood role in "The South’s Shark" (1978).
By the mid-’80s, he began scoring guest shots on such popular series as "The Fall Guy," "The A-Team," "Sledge Hammer!" and "Murder, She Wrote." Mangassarian would work steadily through the 2010s, guesting on shows including "Murphy Brown," "Falcon Crest," "Jake and the Fatman," "NYPD Blue" and "JAG," along with some telefilms.
