Storch, playing the role of Agarn, was the wild-eyed sidekick and protege of Forrest Tucker’s cunning Sgt. O’Rourke, who frequently plotted with Frank DeKova’s Chief Wild Eagle to defraud unwary tourists. Capt. Parmenter, played by Ken Berry, was the naive commander of Fort Courage.
While “F Troop” brought him lasting fame, Storch appeared in scores of films and TV shows both before and after the show. He also enjoyed a long career in theater and as a comic at resorts in New York State’s Catskill Mountains area.
He never regretted being best known for the series, his manager said.
