Louis Quinn (March 23, 1915 – September 14, 1988) was an American television and movie actor.
Quinn began his career as a radio personality, hosting variety shows and writing comedy for shows such as Don McNeill's Breakfast Club.[1] As an actor, he is perhaps best known for his role as Roscoe in the television series 77 Sunset Strip (1958–1963). Until his death from lung cancer in 1988, Quinn appeared regularly on television though not in major or recurring roles (e.g. three episodes of the 1960s Batman series, Raid on Entebbe, Please Don't Eat the Daisies). On the big screen, Quinn played mostly supporting roles in films such as All the President's Men, Unholy Rollers, Birds Do It and Linda Lovelace for President.
