Life and career

Stockwell was born in New York City, the son of singer/dancer Elizabeth "Betty" Margareta Veronica and Harry Stockwell. Guy's father, a baritone singer/actor on Broadway, was famously known for singing the voice of Prince Charming in Disney's animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Guy's younger brother was actor Dean Stockwell.

Stockwell began his acting career on the stage, working in the Broadway productions Innocent Voyage with his brother Dean and Chicken Every Sunday. That affinity for the stage would later inspire him to become a co-founder of the Los Angeles Art Theater. He then went on to hold the recurring role of Chris Parker from 1961 to 1962 in twenty-six episodes of the ABC series Adventures in Paradise, starring Gardner McKay as the skipper of a sailing vessel in the South Pacific.

Stockwell was also cast in episodes of The Roaring 20's, Perry Mason (Season 8, Episode 5), Mannix, Quincy, M.E., Simon & Simon, Knight Rider, The Fall Guy (Season 2, Episode 23, and Season 3, Episode 11), Tales of the Gold Monkey, The Eddie Capra Mysteries, Magnum, P.I., Murder, She Wrote, Columbo, Quantum Leap (with his brother Dean), Bonanza, Land of the Giants, Tombstone Territory, Combat!, The Richard Boone Show, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train (playing Coop Smith's "blood brother" bent on revenge in Season 8, Episode 10, "The Richard Bloodgood Story", which aired on November 28, 1964), The Virginian and Return to Peyton Place. He had important roles in several major motion pictures, including The War Lord (co-starring with Charlton Heston), The Plainsman, Blindfold, the leading role in Beau Geste, Tobruk, The Monitors, It's Alive and Santa Sangre.

Stockwell suffered from diabetes in later years and died of its complications. He was married and divorced three times and had three children.
