Idaho-born character actor known for his gruff, bossy roles especially on 70s TV.
Graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts

Retired in 1991 following an appearance on "Law & Order" (1990).
Died only one day before Stephen Elliott who he appeared with in the "Law & Order" (1990) episode "The Secret Sharers".
Wore a toupee in most of his later roles. The exception was an episode of Remington Steele (TV series 1982-86) from "McCloud" producer Michael Gleason. Here Cannon played a TV news anchor who only wore his toupee while broadcasting. The rest of the time, he gloried in his dome. The toupee showed up when it shouldn't have, solving the case.
