leading man from 1956 to 1995.
Born in Carrigaline, Cork, Ireland, and educated by the Irish Christian Brothers,

His best-known stage role was as Professor Higgins in the original Broadway
production of My Fair Lady, taking over from Rex Harrison in 1957.
His first television appearance was in 1956 in a production of The Adventures of
Robin Hood (TV series), but he is more well known for his starring roles in two
television series, The Ghost & Mrs. Muir (again following Rex Harrison, who had
played The Ghost in the film on which the series was based) and as Devon Miles
in Knight Rider, as well as many guest starring performances on other programs.
He also guest-starred in two episodes of the original Battlestar Galactica.
He starred in a number of films in his career including Megaforce and Out to Sea.
His final role was on Baywatch Nights alongside Knight Rider co-star David
Hasselhoff in 1997.
Edward Mulhare died in Los Angeles of lung cancer in 1997. He never married.
The Team Knight Rider episode K.R.O., broadcast 27 October 1997, is dedicated to
Edward Mulhare's memory.
