He also appeared in “Joanie Loves Chachi” and guest-starred on “All in the Family,” “Bewitched,” “Starsky and Hutch” and “Mod Squad”.  8)  Back in his heyday, he was everywhere.

His career was cut short in ‘89, when he fell off the roof of his house and was rendered a quadriplegic.

And they called him Captain Mauser… yowsa, yowsa…  8)

The Captain Mauser character is the latest in a long line of Police Academy cast to move on.

Others include George Gaynes (Commandant Lassard), Marion Ramsey (Hooks), David Graf (Tackleberry), Ted Ross (Capt. Reed), Debralee Scott (Mrs. Fackler), Bubba Smith (Hightower), and Doug Lennox (main bad guy in the riot segment).

But there are still plenty of original  cast members still with us, so maybe there will be a Police Academy 8 in the works.  8)
