Richard Xavier Slattery (June 26, 1925 — January 27, 1997) was a long-time character actor in film and television.
Slattery was distinguished by a square-jawed look and a rough, gravelly voice that made him ideal as a "tough guy" character, usually as a cowboy or a cop or a "sarge" type. He had been an NYPD police officer before he started his acting career in police academy training films.
During the 1970s he was featured in many TV commercials for Union 76 Gasoline, playing a grandfatherly service station owner named Murph.
His son, Kevin Slattery, has been an executive producer of TV shows such as Just Shoot Me.
