Who played archie bunker

Fearing being typecast in “submissive” roles, Jean Stapleton had wished to leave her role as a regular character, although she was open to guest appearances (in interviews, Stapleton has stated the role of Edith had reached its potential).

During a 1994 interview with the Los Angeles Times, O’Connor said he was not like Archie. He said Archie “wasn’t even close” to who he was in real life. However, he also said this was the most fulfilling character he had ever played.

Carroll O’Connor, the Emmy-winning actor best-known for his iconic role as Archie Bunker in the groundbreaking 1970s television comedy “All in the Family,” died June 21 after suffering a heart attack. He was 76.
