Ronnie Schell, the versatile actor known for his comedic work in “Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.” and “That Girl,” died Friday in Los Angeles of natural causes, his publicist confirmed to Variety. He was 94.

Known for his work in film, TV and on stage as a comedian, the San Francisco native amassed over 140 credits over the course of his decades-spanning career.

He is perhaps best remembered for his run of ’60s shows, from starring in 92 episodes of “Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.” as Duke Slater to three episodes of “That Girl” alongside Marlo Thomas. During that time period, he made appearances on “The Patty Duke Show” and “The Andy Griffith Show.” He co-starred with Goldie Hawn on “Good Morning World.”
