Brian Keith, who played gruff Uncle Bill on the sweet TV series ``Family Affair,'' was found dead yesterday. Keith, who had cancer, apparently committed suicide. He was 75.
Keith was found by family members in his Malibu home with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, sheriff's deputies said.
``He was a crusty old character, but a lot of fun,'' said Paul Doherty, an agent whose firm handled Keith's work in commercials. ``A wonderful guy, wonderful talent.''
Keith appeared in movies throughout the 1950s and '60s, including such light comedies as Disney's ``The Parent Trap'' in 1961 and ``With Six You Get Eggroll'' with Doris Day in 1968.
