Columbo goes to college (actor Guy Stockwell)

I was watching Tobruk at the weekend and noticed the actor Guy Stockwell had appeared in an episode of Columbo. Indeed it appears it was his very last film appearance. I just cannot place him in any scenes though!! Anybody have a pic of him in role?

Clive,

He played the bartender in a couple of scenes.

This site is a bit hard to navigate around, but it has virtually every scene in every Columbo episode, and I find it quite useful:

If I did it right, one of his scenes should be at the top.

This picture from another site confirms what he looked like late in his career.

Many thanks for your help, I simply could never have recognised him in his later years. When you consider he was playing alongside big hollywood stars like Rock Hudson (he was the German traitor in Tobruk) it's amazing how much he had altered. But as the vagebond site explains, the guy was suffering from diabetes in later years.

I don't know him from a very great number of things (unlike his brother Dean), but I've always liked him.
