Philip Carey

Philip Carey

Philip Carey (born July 15, 1925) is an American actor.

A former U.S. Marine, Carey has made appearances in films such as "This Woman is Dangerous" with Joan Crawford (1952) "Calamity Jane" (1953), "Pushover" (1954) and "Monster" (1979). Carey played Captain Edward Parmalee on the NBC television series "Laredo", which ran from 1965-1967. He narrated thirty-one episodes of the documentary "Untamed World". He starred as Philip Marlowe in a 1959 series of the same name.

From 1979 until late 2007, he has played the protective Texan patriarch Asa Buchanan on the ABC soap opera, "One Life to Live". Before that, Carey had played four different characters on as many episodes of ABC's "77 Sunset Strip". Carey's career started with ten characters in ten episodes of the "Ford Television Theatre", a highly popular drama series of the 1950s.

Carey became well-known for a series of tongue-in-cheek television commercials for Granny Goose potato chips, in which he self-identified as "Granny Goose", portraying the company's spokesperson as a tough cowboy.

Carey was diagnosed with lung cancer in January 2006 and underwent chemotherapy.

In late March 2007, it was announced that Carey would be exiting "One Life to Live". He had appeared in one episode in 2003 and one episode of "All My Children" in 2004. He appeared in an additional nine episodes of "One Life to Live" between January 3, 2007 and May 16, 2007. Carey turned down an offer to go to recurring status with the show. His character of Asa died off-screen four months later. [ [http://community.tvguide.com/forum.jspa?forumID=700000047 Soaps News Blog | TVGuide.com ] ]
