Richard “Dick” Gautier (October 30, 1931 – January 13, 2017) was an American actor, voice actor, comedian, writer, and caricaturist. He was best known for Get Smart, Divorce American Style, and Fun with Dick and Jane. His career was kickstarted in 1960 when he was cast as Conrad Birdie in the Broadway musical Bye Bye Birdie, the first actor to play the role.
Gautier wrote several books on drawing and cartooning. He was married three times—to Beverly J. Gerber, actress Barbara Stuart, and Tess Hightower—and had three children with Gerber. Stuart was a fellow panelist on Tattletales, one of several game shows on which Gautier was a regular or semiregular presence. He died at the age of 85 after a long illness.
