Biography

Character actor Michael Currie, born Herman Christian Schwenk Jr. on July 24, 1928, in Kingston, New York, was the youngest of three children to Herman C. Schwenk and Mabel Lockwood. He attended Kingston High School, where he participated in the a cappella choir and played football. During summers and weekends, he worked at his family’s business, Schwenk's Bakery. Currie earned a psychology degree from St. Lawrence University and apprenticed at the Woodstock Playhouse. He pursued graduate studies at Cornell University and the University of Ohio. Michael served two years in Okinawa during the Korean War and later taught theater at SUNY New Paltz. In 1960, he met Ann Dods on a blind date and married her that same year.

Michael appeared in four Clint Eastwood films, notably as Captain Donnelly in "Sudden Impact" and "The Dead Pool." He was also well-known for his role as the cheerful hotel owner Rafferty in "Halloween III: Season of the Witch." Currie had a recurring role as Sheriff Jonas Carter on the daytime horror soap opera "Dark Shadows." His television guest appearances include "M.A.S.H.," "Family," "Soap," "Cheers," "Dallas," and "Newhart." On stage, he performed in the Broadway production of "Love and Kisses" and Off-Broadway plays such as "The Premise" and "What Price Glory." He was the father of a son, John, and a daughter, Catherine. Michael Currie passed away at 81 on December 22, 2009, in Freeport, Maine.
