Stuart Nisbet

Born in Los Angeles, the prolific character actor Stuart Nisbet was acting professionally by the time he was in his mid-20s. Starting with a small role on "The Tab Hunter Show" in 1960, Nisbet performed in countless classic television shows throughout the rest of the decade. His work includes small appearances on such beloved programs as the supernatural sitcom "Bewitched," the anthology series "The Twilight Zone," and the crackling espionage drama "Mission: Impossible."
