From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Monte Markham (born June 21, 1935) is an American actor. During his career, Markham has appeared in film, in television, and on Broadway. Markham was born in Manatee County, Florida, the son of Millie Content (née Willbur) and Jesse Edward Markham, Sr., who was a merchant. Markham's many television credits include Cold Case, Mission: Impossible, Here Come the Brides, The Mod Squad, The Virginian, Ellery Queen, Hogan's Heroes, The High Chaparral, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Alias Smith and Jones, Barnaby Jones, Hawaii Five-O, The Six Million Dollar Man, Quincy, Police Woman, Trapper John M.D., The Incredible Hulk, Hart to Hart, The Fall Guy, Dallas, Matt Houston, Simon and Simon, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, The A-Team, Finder of Lost Loves, Hotel, Murder She Wrote, The Golden Girls, Baywatch, Melrose Place, Grace Under Fire and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He played the title character in the ill-fated 1973 revival of Perry Mason, and the dual role of Luke and Ken Carpenter in the 1967-68 ABC sitcom The Second Hundred Years. Of these television roles, Markham is perhaps most famous for playing the role of Barney Hiller in two episodes of the Six Million Dollar Man. These episodes are titled: The Seven Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Criminal. Markham made his Broadway debut in 1973 in Irene, for which he won the Theatre World Award. He also appeared on stage in Same Time, Next Year. Markham's film work includes Hour of the Gun Guns of the Magnificent Seven, Midway, and Airport 77. He has served as a consultant, director, producer, and narrator for A & E's "Classroom" series.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
Is Monte Markham's work okay for kids?
Across up to 5 MovieCove titles with content scores, sex & nudity runs heavier than most films.
Severity 0–100 from the Content Guide. Categories with under 10 votes on a title are not counted. The band's colour is the severity of their median, named beside it.
