Lee Bergere (born Solomon Bergelson; April 10, 1918 – January 31, 2007)[1] was an American actor, known for his role as Joseph Anders in the 1980s television series Dynasty.

[3] He appeared as the Duke, with Richard Kiley reprising his role as Don Quixote, when the Broadway hit Man of La Mancha premiered in Los Angeles in 1967.

[9][10] With that role, and his on-screen billing in the show's opening credits starting in season two, Bergere achieved a level of fame rarely matched by other character actors who, like him, had worked in relative anonymity as guest stars on television series in the 1960s and 1970s including Hogan's Heroes.

He appeared regularly only during the first three seasons of Dynasty (returning briefly in the fourth to be "killed off"), but his role grew beyond opening doors and announcing guests to encompass storylines that included the introduction of a daughter and his own character's suicide after setting a cliffhanging fire.

[11] Bergere died, aged 88, from undisclosed causes in Colonial Poplin Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility[6] in Fremont, New Hampshire,[11] where he had taken up residence some years earlier, having left the acting profession in 1989.
