RIP Charles Bateman

 He was not on the list.

Charles Bateman died in La Mesa, California on April 20, 2024, at the age of 93. His passing has only come to light recently. Charles Wilbur Bateman on November 19, 1930. He was an American actor who appeared in 76 different television programs between 1958 and 1991, as well as numerous theatrically-released and made-for-telelevision films. He is perhaps best recognized to audiences for his role as the ill-fated First Officer Larsen in the 1972 box-office smash and cinematic classic “The Poseidon Adventure”.

One of three children born to Thomas O. Bateman and Ivarene Cornelius Bateman. His mother Ivarene died aged 110 in 2015. His early training in acting came at San Diego Junior College and La Jolla Playhouse as well as in a stock theater company.

Bateman also guest starred as a young engineer in the episode "The Tree" of CBS's Lassie, as well as two episodes of ‘Perry Mason’as Roy Dowson in "The Case of the Bashful Burro" in 1960, and defendant and title character Jeff Bronson in the 1961 episode, "The Case of the Guilty Clients." He starred in 39 episodes of the only season of ‘Two Faces West’. He might best be remembered for his role as Fred Williams in the 5th and final season of ‘Hazel’.

Bateman's first venture into soap operas was in 1980, when he joined the cast of NBC's ‘Days of Our Lives’ as Maxwell Jarvis, but he left the program after a year. He was later the third actor to portray C.C.Capwell on the soap opera ‘Santa Barbara’. His last acting role was in 1991 in an episode of ‘The Trials of Rosie O'Neill’.
