William Gargan (July 17, 1905 - February 17, 1979) was an American motion picture and television actor. Gargan played character roles in many Hollywood productions, but is best known for his role as Detective Martin Kane in the 1949-51 television series. Gargan's career came to an end in 1958 when he developed throat cancer, and doctors were forced to remove his larynx. Speaking through an artificial voice box, Gargan became an activist and spokesman for the American Cancer Society, often warning about the dangers of smoking.
