Brooklyn-born Don Diamond's most famous role is probably that of the scheming and ambitious, but inept and somewhat cowardly, underling Crazy Cat to Frank DeKova's Chief Wild Eagle in the cult western comedy series F Troop (1965). By the time he got that role he had been an actor for quite some time, starting out in radio in the early 1940s, where he discovered that he had a knack for picking up dialects, especially Spanish. He became so proficient in it that many believed he was actually Spanish or Mexican, when in reality his family came from Russia. His facility in that dialect got him the role as the Mexican sidekick of Kit Carson in the early TV series The Adventures of Kit Carson (1951). He also landed a recurring part as a Spanish corporal, "Corporal Reyes", in the Disney TV series Zorro (1957). In addition to his TV and film work, he did much voice-over work in both cartoons and commercials, such as voicing Toro from the DFE series, Tijuana Toads.

In 1985 he switched to The Young and the Restless (1973) playing Abbott gardener Brad Carlton. Not just in the series his good looks and charms quickly got him to the forefront of various story-lines and his character eventually became a rich and powerful business man.

Diamont left the show in 1996, had guest starring roles on Baywatch (1989) and Diagnosis Murder (1993) before returning to the The Young And The Restless in 1998.

Shortly after, Diamont was hired by writer/producer Bradley Bell for sister-show The Bold and the Beautiful (1987) where he made a grand entrance as the (never-before mentioned) son of the Spencer publishing dynasty, Bill Spencer Jr., becoming the patriarch for a soon expanded new major family on the most-watched daytime drama in the world.

Don Dohler was born on January 27, 1946 in Baltimore, Maryland. Dohler became interested in fantastic films at a very young age (Dohler was a longtime reader of the popular horror magazine "Famous Monsters of Filmland"). He began making 8mm shorts at age 12. Dohler also published a "Mad" magazine type spin-off called "Wild" in his teen years. Dohler's initial forays into filmmaking include the stop-motion animation short "Mr. Clay" and the sci-fi effort "Pursued." Both films won awards from the amateur filmmakers club the Washington Society of Cinematographers. In 1972 Dohler launched the movie magazine "Cinemagic," which had an eleven issue run which lasted until 1979. Dohler made his feature length debut with the enjoyably cheap "The Alien Factor." Don's follow-up films were a pretty eclectic bunch: the creepy horror offering "Fiend," the gloriously gaga "Nightbeast," the goofy "Galaxy Invader," and the outrageously gruesome "Blood Massacre." After a regrettably lengthy absence from movie-making, Dohler bounced back with the belated sequel "Alien Factor 2: The Alien Rampage." In addition, Don served as both writer and producer on the straight-to-video fright flicks "Harvesters," "Stakes," "Crawler," and "Vampire Sisters." Moreover, Dohler was managing editor of the newspaper the Times Herald. Don Dohler died at age 60 of cancer on December 2nd, 2006.
