The listing, The Late Actor Kevin Hagen Autographed 8x10 has ended.
Kevin Hagen (April 3, 1928 – July 9, 2005) was an American actor best known for his role as Dr. Hiram Baker on NBC's Little House on the Prairie.
Hagen began to work steadily in television and film. His first regular role on a series was in 1958 in the CBS cult western Yancy Derringer, starring Jock Mahoney in the title role. Hagen played John Colton, the city administrator of New Orleans, c. 1868. At the beginning of each episode, Colton asks Derringer to halt some threat facing the city; at the end of each segment, he arrests Derringer for breaking the law to solve the crisis. From 1969 to 1970, Hagen appeared in nine episodes of Land of the Giants in the role of Inspector Dobbs Kobick.
Hagen guest starred seven times on Gunsmoke, six times on The Big Valley, five times each on Bonanza, Laramie, and Have Gun - Will Travel, and four appearances on Mannix and The Time Tunnel.
Other appearances included Bat Masterson, Riverboat, Wagon Train, Outlaws, Straightaway, GE True, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, The Twilight Zone, in the episode "You Drive", and Daniel Boone.
Continued: Mission: Impossible, Rawhide, 77 Sunset Strip, The Rifleman, Lancer, The Virginian, The Guns of Will Sonnett, The Cowboys, Lost in Space (as the alien in the episode "His Majesty Smith"), Perry Mason, Simon and Simon, and Knots Landing.
But he considered his big break the role of a Confederate soldier who kills James Stewart's son and daughter-in-law in the 1965 film Shenandoah.
His most famous role was one of his most pleasant, as kindly Doc Baker on Michael Landon's Little House on the Prairie. He played the part from 1974 to 1983 as well as in a one-man show, A Playful Dose of Prairie Wisdom.
