Tall blonde and handsome actor was on tons of television shows back in 1970's through 1980's including the short lived "The Paul Lynde Show", then suddenly dropped off the radar.
The OP photo is from the pilot episode of Watch What Happens Live.

He didn't 'suddenly fall off the radar'. He worked for another 20+ years.
Maybe he got 'the AIDS'...

Bet old Paul needed lots of “rehearsal time” with his co-star.

Paul sucked his cock one time too many, and he left the business to go home to Utah and pray.

He seems to have retired in 1995. He's 75 now. Made a lot of TV movies and guested in quite a few series. No mention anywhere of a wife or family...

He's responsible for those damned Evangelicals, so please don't remind me of him.

I don't think the person in OP's pic can possibly be John Calvin, who lived from 1509-64.

Well it is 40 years later, so I would not hold out any great hopes.

He married Susan Dey. She took him off the radar.

"There was a Paul Lynde show!? Where can I watch this masterpiece?"
We've done that already in "Cannon" thread. Nearly all episodes including pilot of Paul Lynde Show are on YT. Only ran one season so there aren't that many really.

John Calvin celebrated his 75th birthday just barely a month ago (28 November 2022).
Can find nothing indicating he has died, just that JC stopped acting around 1995.
If rumors are true (that John Calvin is gay) maybe he just settled down with someone to lead a low key life. His name doesn't seem to be connected with anything industry wise since his last acting gig. There are no mentions of spouse, children, professional degrees or associations (such as became an attorney, doctor, or even real estate agent..). Mr. Calvin truly seems to have just dropped off face of the planet.

John Calvin worked nearly every year since about 1971 in both film and television.
If money was managed well he could "retire" somewhat comfortably from acting and live a quiet life doing something else low key.

I always get him confused with Michael Blodgett.

Handsome as he'll in R18's photo. He looks like my idea of a Viking. He.probably had to fight off all kinds of assholes in the TV.industry.

According to public records, he lives in a town in Washington state, near the Canadian border. Doesn't seem to have social media and nothing to really indicate what he might have done post his acting career.

Paul Lynde was an ugly motherfucker. No wonder he was an angry drunk.

He looked great with short hair. I can see why Michael Ontkean ended up with him instead of Kate Jackson.
