Robert Hogan, a TV character actor who was a regular on « Peyton Place » for two seasons and recurred on » The Wire » and such other popular series as » Law & Order » and « Alice, » has died. He was 87. His family said he died May 27 of pneumonia complications at his home in coastal Maine.

He also played the Rev.
