Charles Dierkop (born September 11, 1936), died  on 25.02.2024 was an American film and television character actor.

Dierkop was born in La Crosse, Wisconsin and attended Aquinas High School in La Crosse. His short, muscular stature and interesting nose give him the look of a classic Dick Tracy gangster. (In fact, he was cast in two George Roy Hill films, and played an outlaw both times -- as 'Flat Nose Curry' in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" he was a member of the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, and as 'Floyd' in "The Sting", he acted as a bodyguard to Robert Shaw's New York gangster/griftee, Doyle Lonnegan.) He is, however, best known for his work in the Police Woman television series between 1974 and 1978.
