Brad Sullivan (November 18, 1931 – December 31, 2008) was an American actor known for character roles in television and on film and stage.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Bradford E. Sullivan served in the Korean War and then attended the University of Maine. After touring with a stage company, he moved to New York City and studied at the American Theatre Wing. He made his Off-Broadway debut in Red Roses for Me in 1961, and went on to appear in the London, England company of the musical South Pacific.
In the 1960s and early 1970s, he appeared in two productions of the New York Shakespeare Festival — Coriolanus at Central Park's Delacorte Theatre (1965), and Václav Havel's The Memorandum — and the David Newbburge-Jacques Urbont musical Stag Movie (1971).
In 1972, he made his movie debut in the military drama Parades (1972; re-released as The Line, 1980). This was followed by an appearance in a CBS TV-movie adaptation of David Rabe Sticks and Bones, a black comedy about a Vietnam War veteran. The subject matter proved so controversial that half the network's affiliates refused to broadcast the telefilm.
Sullivan was then featured prominently in director George Roy Hill's hit The Sting LESS
