"We don't, dum, dum dum here." - as Siegfried from Get Smart Bernie Kopel has played the same character (Dr. Adam Bricker) in four different series: The Love Boat (1977), Charlie's Angels (1976), Martin (1992) and Love Boat: The Next Wave (1998). Bernard Morton "Bernie" Kopell (born June 21st, 1933) is an American character actor known for his roles as Siegfried in Get Smart from 1965 to 1970 and as Dr. Adam Bricker ("Doc") in ABC's The Love Boat from 1977 to 1986. It was his longest-running role and remained on the series during its entire run, appearing in 250 episodes. Before becoming known for his The Love Boat role, Kopell appeared in many television series, often sitcoms. He appeared on The Jack Benny Program, Green Acres, Our Man Higgins, The Flying Nun, Ben Casey, My Favorite Martian, Petticoat Junction, The Streets of San Francisco, Room 222, The Mary Tyler Moore Show (where he met his future Love Boat star, Gavin MacLeod. The two have remained lifelong friends.) and Kojak. Kopell made memorable recurring appearances as KAOS agent Siegfried in Get Smart, Alan-a-Dale in When Things Were Rotten, Jerry Bauman in That Girl and Louie Pallucci in The Doris Day Show. Kopell also played several characters on Bewitched including the witches' apothecary and the warlock Alonzo in "The Warlock in the Gray Flannel Suit". Known for his talent with dialects, his first three years of his career had him playing Latinos, including a three-month stint on "The Brighter Day" as a Cuban heavy. After The Love Boat, Kopell was so recognizable that he was not in roles often without a nod to his famous role. He appears as a coroner in "Which Prue is it Anyway", an episode of Charmed. Kopell appears in the Monk episode "Mr. Monk and the Critic", playing Mr. Gilson, the restroom attendant. Kopell guest starred in "Pinky", a 2009 episode of My Name is Earl. He makes a cameo as a patient in the Scrubs episode "My Friend the Doctor", as well as an episode of the Disney Channel Original Series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. In a dream sequence of Fresh Prince of Bel (right) Air Kopell made a parody cameo of himself as an actor who played a ship's doctor so many times he offers to perform an operation for real. On a 1994 episode of Saturday Night Live he appeared as "Doc" during a Love Boat-themed spoof of Star Trek: The Next Generation. In the 1995 Fox Network Get Smart Again series, Max's son (played by Andy Dick) meets Siegfried's daughter. When the young Smart tells how his dad always told him that he was a greeting card salesman, Siegfried's daughter replies, "My dad always had me believing he was a doctor on a cruise ship." Kopell also made a cameo appearance in the 2008 film adaptation of Get Smart (below). Kopell's role as Doc on The Love Boat was parodied in a humorous appearance on Late Show with David Letterman in 1995. Two entries in that night's Top Ten List poked fun at The Love Boat, and at the Doc character specifically. The camera cut to Kopell, who was sitting in the audience, and he stormed out of the theater. A few moments later, he was shown having been reseated in the mezzanine when the second parody was made at his expense, and again stood up, raised his fists and stormed out, obviously in on the joke. Kopell has played his Love Boat character, Dr. Adam Bricker, in four different series and in 1996 on the Martin TV series Kopell along with Lauren Tewes, Ted Lange, and Jill Whelan reprised their roles.
