Charles Aidman (January 21, 1925 – November 7, 1993) was an American stage, film, and television actor.

Biography

Il commença sa carrière en 1952 après avoir servi dans la Marine. À l'origine, il se destinait à être avocat, mais pendant la Guerre il fut remarqué par un officier instructeur qui lui conseilla de jouer dans une pièce de théâtre. Aidman prit goût à cet art, nouveau pour lui et il joua souvent dans des films policiers ou des séries fantastiques. En 1968, en raisons d'importants problèmes de santé de Ross Martin, il apparut dans quelques épisodes de la série Les Mystères de l'Ouest, jouant le rôle de Jeremy Pike, un des remplaçants d'Artemus Gordon.
