Garry Walberg is an American film and television actor best known for his roles on "Quincy M.E." and "The Odd Couple." Walberg made his TV debut in 1952 with a small role on the sitcom "Mister Peepers," and soon landed work on such popular shows as "Rawhide," "Gunsmoke," and "Outlaws." After appearing in a string of supporting roles in the early '60s, in 1965 Walberg accepted a recurring role as a local police sergeant on the primetime soap opera "Peyton Place." He landed his next high-profile role in 1970 when he was cast as Jack Klugman's poker buddy Speed on the long-running series "The Odd Couple," and soon landed recurring roles on such high-profile shows as "The Waltons" and "Love, American Style."
