As a cinephile who has spent countless hours immersed in the rich tapestry of television and film history, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of nostalgia upon hearing about the passing of Michael Cole. Known for his role as Pete Cochran in the groundbreaking series “The Mod Squad,” Cole was more than just a face on the screen – he was a symbol of change, a beacon of hope, and an unforgettable presence that left a lasting impact on generations of viewers.
Michael Cole, who portrayed Pete Cochran, one of the three trendy young police officers in “The Mod Squad,” passed away on Tuesday. His age at the time was 84 years old.
Cole passed away peacefully this morning with his beloved family by his side, having lived a rich and lively life.
Cole, born on the 3rd of July, 1940, in Madison, Wisconsin, made appearances on programs like “Gunsmoke” before achieving fame on “The Mod Squad.” This series ran from 1968 to 1973, featuring actors such as Peggy Lipton and Clarence Williams III. Cole portrayed Pete Cochran, a former troubled youth who found salvation through his work with the squad. The show frequently addressed contemporary social issues.
Following “The Mod Squad,” Cole went on to contribute to various television series such as “Murder, She Wrote,” “Fantasy Island,” and “The Love Boat.” He also appeared in films like “Grave Misconduct.
His book, titled “I Pulled Off the White Role,” presented an open and sincere narration of his Hollywood adventures.
