HACKENSACK, N.J. (MCT) — Dan Resin, a stage and screen actor who played Dr. Beeper in the classic film comedy “Caddyshack” and the dapper Ty-D-Bol man in television commercials for the toilet bowl cleaner, has died.
He was 79 and had lived in Secaucus for nearly 50 years. Resin died Saturday of complications from Parkinson’s disease, said a daughter, Elizabeth Olynick.
“Dr. Beeper was his defining role,” his daughter said. “That was the role people associate him with.”
Resin learned to play golf for the role but did not keep up with the sport after appearing in “Caddyshack,” Olynick said.
And in real life, he never carried a beeper.
