The Canadian-born Bain first emerged in the role of Dr. Arthur Harmon on Maude (1972-8), and when that series ended, producers Norman Lear & Bud Yorkin wasted little time finding a new project for Bain, casting him as New York millionaire Philip Drummond on Diff'rent Strokes. Bain, though, was quickly overshadowed by his younger co-stars, Todd Bridges, Gary Coleman, & Dana Plato.
Bain still landed the occasional gig as much as two years ago, according to Wikipedia.
Following is a choice bit from Diff'rent Strokes, in which Phil Drummond (Bain) goes undercover to find out what his employees really think of him........
Rest in peace, Conrad.

Stunning, isn't it?
Conrad Bain was one of the most underrated actors of our time.
