Jacques Georges Aubuchon (October 30, 1924 – December 28, 1991) was an American actor who appeared in films, stage, and on television in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
Aubuchon, who grew up in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was the son of Arthur and Flora Aubuchon.[1] He went to Assumption Preparatory School and served in the military during World War Two.[2] During his working career, Aubuchon made over 300 television appearances, made two dozen films, did hundreds of television commercials, plus wrote plays.[3]
One of Aubuchon's best known roles was as Chief Urulu on McHale's Navy.[1] Aubuchon's first part on Broadway was as the sewerman in The Madwoman of Chaillot and Paris 7000 was the first television show that he had a regular part on.[4]
