| George Maharis (1931-2023) |
George Maharis, who played Buz Murdock on the popular 1960s series “Route 66,” has died at age 94.
A cause of death was not released for Maharis, who died last Wednesday, according to the announcement over the weekend.
“George is well known for his stardom in route 66, stage productions, singing, artist, and above all a great guy would do anything for anyone,” caretaker Marc Bahan wrote in a Facebook post. “My dear friend, you’ll be terribly missed.”
He appeared in more than 70 screen and stage roles during a career spanning four decades, including the Off-Broadway play “Deathwatch” by Jean Genet during the late 1950s.
He was best known for his starring gig on “Route 66,” appearing as the New York native Murdock on dozens of episodes, including the series’ first in 1960. The show largely centered on Murdock and Martin Milner’s character, Tod Stiles, embarking on adventures throughout the U.S. in a Chevrolet Corvette.
