He was 84.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A cause of death was not given. His death was confirmed by Christy Clark of the Stewart Talent Agency, which represented Mr. Cole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Cole was a young, struggling actor when he achieved overnight success on the police crime drama \u201cThe Mod Squad,\u201d which ran on ABC from 1968 to 1973 and co-starred <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/05\/12\/obituaries\/peggy-lipton-mod-squad-dead.html\" title=\"\">Peggy Lipton<\/a> and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/06\/06\/obituaries\/clarence-williams-iii-dead.html\" title=\"\">Clarence Williams III<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe Mod Squad\u201d was one of the first prime-time series to acknowledge the hippie counterculture and an early example of multiracial casting. It centered on three hippies in trouble with the law, who avoid jail time by joining the police department and working undercover. Mr. Cole was cast as Pete Cochran, a wealthy kid who was kicked out of his parents\u2019 house for stealing a car. Mr. Williams played Linc Hayes, and Ms. Lipton played Julie Barnes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The trio gave the show one of its taglines: \u201cOne black, one white, one blonde.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The show became a runaway hit, tackling racism, abortion, the Vietnam War and drug abuse.
