Britt Lomond (April 12, 1925 – March 22, 2006) was an American actor and television producer. Also credited as Glase Lohman.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Lomond was raised in New York City. He received three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star, and a Bronze Star for his military service as an Army paratrooper during World War II.
He was a student at New York University after the war.
Lomond was active with NYU's fencing team, and he earned a place on the United States' fencing team for the 1952 Olympics. Instead of going that route, he began fencing as a professional in productions on stage and in films.
In 1956, Lomond played the Spaniard James Addison Reavis in the episode "The Baron of Arizona" of the anthology series, Death Valley Days, hosted by Stanley Andrews. In the story line, two newspapermen doubt Reavis' claim to millions of acres in the New Mexico Territory, which then included Arizona. Though Reavis' papers seem authentic and date to colonial times, the reporters prove them to be fraudulent.'
Lomond is best known for his role as Capitán Monasterio in the first season of Disney's Zorro. He also played the role of General George Armstrong Custer in the Disney film Tonka. On television he made a guest appearance on Perry Mason as he played the role of title character and murder victim Jack Culross in the 1961 episode, "The Case of the Posthumous Painter." In 1963 Lomond appeared as Kyle Lawson on The Virginian in the episode titled "If You Have Tears."
He was a unit production manager for The Waltons, Somewhere in Time, and Falcon Crest. He was also known for being a first assistant director for Battlestar Galactica and MacGyver.
Death On March 22, 2006, Lomond died of kidney failure at a nursing home in Huntington Beach, California, at age 80. He was survived by his wife, a son, and a daughter.
Paintings Britt Lomond also painted.
BRITTINI was a commercial art studio in the 1960s, in Los Angeles, California. The studio was owned by three people, actor Britt Lomond, his father-in-law, and Loraine Miller.
In addition to producing vast numbers of "sofa art" paintings, the Brittini artists also did extensive muraling in the Grauman's Egyptian Theatre, in Hollywood, in 1964 (those paintings are now gone, the theatre has been remodeled). The paintings were usually of ships, with raised texture, using white glue tinted black with acrylic paint.
