John Schuck: Where Is The Last Surviving Star Of McMillan & Wife Now?

"McMillan & Wife" is one of those forgotten '70s sitcoms, but a classic nonetheless. It starred Rock Hudson as Police Commissioner Stewart ("Mac") McMillan, Susan Saint James as his wife Sally, and John Schuck as Sergeant Charle Enright. Together, McMillan and his wife solved crimes around the San Francisco area with the help of Enright, blending comedy and crime-solving — the perfect trio! Sadly, most of the show's stars have died, with the exception of Schuck, but after the show ended in 1977, Schuck's career continued to thrive. 

Funnily enough, Schuck found himself on yet another crime sitcom (with a sci-fi twist) called "Holmes & Yoyo" immediately following "McMillan & Wife," which followed a detective who discovers his new partner is a robot. He was also in a number of other TV dramas, Broadway musicals, films, and sitcoms in the decades following. So, where is the actor now? As of 2026, it's been a few years since Schuck has worked on any new projects, but here's what we know about his career post-show and where he is now.

After "McMillan & Wife," John Schuck started to pick up a number of comedy-horror and memorable sci-fi roles. It began with his time (although short-lived) on "Holmes & Yoyo," but continued when he starred as the Frankenstein monster in the TV special "The Halloween That Almost Wasn't" in 1979. He then became known for his role as Herman Munster in the 1988 reboot of the classic sitcom, called "The Munsters Today." In tandem with his film work, Schuck also made his Broadway debut in the '80s as Daddy Warbucks in "Annie," cementing him as a multi-talented film, TV, and stage actor.

It was also the late '80s when Schuck did work for the legendary "Star Trek" franchise. Schuck played Klingon ambassador Kamarag in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" in 1986 and later reprised the role in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" in 1991. He did more work with the franchise later on in the '90s. Schuck loved being on 'Star Trek" and he shared what it was like working on such an elaborate, character-driven show. "When people ask me about the movies, the first thing I think of is the makeup," he told Star Trek's website. "It was heavy makeup. Getting it on was hard and, I always say, getting it off was harder. The makeups today are far more advanced, how they get them on and off."

As of 2026, John Schuck is now 86 years old. After a decades-long career, it appears Schuck hasn't done any new acting projects since 2024, the latest being a short untitled film. The year before, in 2023, however, Schuck starred as Casper Ten Boom in a historical drama called "The Hiding Place." This was an interesting shift for him after decades of sitcom and sci-fi work. The film was based on a true story about a family who helped Jewish people escape Nazi Germany during World War II. While Schuck certainly wasn't new to dramatic acting, it was uncharacteristic for him to take on such a serious subject. 

Schuck talked about what intrigued him about the role with JHP Entertainment. "Casper Ten Boom is an interesting man," he said. "[T]here are a lot of challenges there...there's lots of gritty stuff to dig yourself into in terms of the story. In other words, the part is a challenge and I like challenges." 

In October 2026, Schuck went on the "Up Next With John Contratti" podcast. It was there he shared that due to his age, he has to be a bit more careful now physically and that's the reason for the break in work. "I've been having back issues," he said. "So it's been very difficult to work. I haven't been up to New York to work at all for about two or three years now. The last thing I did was nice work... And I had a lot of fun doing that. And I'll get back there."
