Larry Storch, zany Cpl. Agarn on TV’s ‘F Troop,’ dies at 99
Larry Storch the cartoonish comedian died at the age of 99.
The artist passed away peacefully early on Friday in his apartment.
Larry Storch, the cartoonish comedian best known for his outrageous portrayal of Cpl. Agarn in the 1960s spoof of Western frontier TV shows died on Friday. Storch had a lengthy career in theatre, film, and television. Age 99 was Storch.
According to Storch’s manager, Matt Beckoff, the artist passed away peacefully early on Friday in his apartment in New York City.
Even though “F Troop” only ran on ABC for two seasons, from 1965 to 1967, it developed a cult following in reruns. Nearly every incident involving the incredibly inept troops of Fort Courage and the local Native Americans who merely appeared to be at war with them could be recalled by its ardent followers.

Storch, playing the role of Agarn, was the wild-eyed sidekick and protege of Forrest Tucker’s cunning Sgt. O’Rourke, who frequently plotted with Frank DeKova’s Chief Wild Eagle to defraud unwary tourists. Capt. Parmenter, played by Ken Berry, was the naive commander of Fort Courage.
While “F Troop” brought him lasting fame, Storch appeared in scores of films and TV shows both before and after the show. He also enjoyed a long career in theater and as a comic at resorts in New York State’s Catskill Mountains area.
He never regretted being best known for the series, his manager said.
