I have pitifully little to go on, so this may be impossible. Here’s what I recall: He was in some films but was not a superstar–more of a B-lister. In terms of looks, he was kind of a Peter Duel type. Brown hair. His last name was something like Duryea. No, not Dan Duryea–much younger than that. Also not Dan Duryea’s son, Peter. No offense to Peter Duryea, but the actor I’m thinking of was extremely good-looking. Last name definitely started with a D. His first name was one syllable. I was thinking “Kim,” but that’s not right. Ken? I can’t even recall what movies/TV shows he was in. At first I was thinking “Charly,” the film based on “Flowers for Algernon,” but that was Cliff Robertson. This guy tended to play the boyfriend/young husband of the ingenue. If I had a list of 100 male actors from the 1960’s, I’d be able to spot him, but I haven’t found such a list. Anyone know where I could find one? This is embarrassingly little to offer for clues. I’m sorry. But any guesses would be appreciated. ---

Ok, going to throw names out there: Alain Delon [Alain Delon - IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001128/) Um…that’s all I have right now…still looking! ---

I’m not familiar with Peter Duel, but looking him up on Google Images, he looks quite a bit like [Keith Partridge](http://www.sitcomsonline.com/photopost/data/733/Part1KeithPartridge02.jpg). ---

Keir Dullea, perhaps? Best known for 2001: A Space Odyssey. ---

Reading the OP I thought Oh yea I remember him Duryea, or something but on researching It I was thinking of [Doug McClure](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0565982/)- don’t know why I thought it was Duryea ---

‘Kim Duryea’? Yep, sounds like [Kier Dullea](http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Keir%20Dullea&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi) to me as well. ---

Bumped because I just got a copy of the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinemateque July/August schedule, and July 14-17 is Keir Dullea weekend; they are showing _Black Christmas_, _Bunny Lake is Missing_, _David and Lisa_, and _2001: A Space Odyssey_, the last two on the 16th. It says he will appear on the 16th and answer audience questions after the screenings. He is a Cleveland native. ---
