[4] Tod and his sister, Gertrude Anderson Pierucci, were raised in southern California; both suffered untimely deaths, predeceasing their mother, Lydia.

When Henry Fonda left the title role in Mister Roberts, Logan gave Andrews the part in the road production.

Two years later, he worked again with Post in Beneath the Planet of the Apes, as James Franciscus's dying commanding officer, Colonel 'Skipper' Maddox.

Andrews' television performances included a starring role from 1957 to 1958 in the syndicated series of the American Civil War, The Gray Ghost, based on the heroic Confederate Colonel John Singleton Mosby.

In the story line, Parker is assigned by General Ulysses Grant (Stan Jones) to infiltrate a Confederate spy ring masterminded by Belle Waverly (Elaine Devry).

Gavin MacLeod played Belle's fiancé, Dandy Martin, who shoots her to death because she developed romantic feelings for Captain Parker.

(ref: Dorothy Kilgallen Voice of Broadway, in Olean Times Herald, Aug 15 1967 page 13) Andrews died of a heart attack on November 7, 1972, in Los Angeles, two days before his 58th birthday.
