Alex Henteloff (born May 23, 1942) is an American actor.[1][2]

Born in Los Angeles, Henteloff has appeared mostly on television in guest-starring roles, and usually made such an impression that he was invited back to appear in multiple episodes of the same series. He is perhaps best known as the aggressive attorney Arnold Drake Ripner in six episodes of the television series Barney Miller, and he guest-starred in a seventh episode in the character role of an expert forger. Barney Miller writer Reinhold Weege hired Henteloff for Weege's subsequent series Night Court (four episodes).

Henteloff appeared as Doug Porterfield in 14 episodes of The Betty White Show (1977-78). His many TV appearances include I Spy, Mannix, Streets of San Francisco (three episodes), Baretta, Family Ties, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, McCloud, Cannon, Ironside, M*A*S*H, Pistols 'n' Petticoats, Charlie's Angels, Dynasty (two episodes), Murder, She Wrote, Soap, Quincy, M.E., ALF, Melrose Place, Simon & Simon (four episodes), Hill Street Blues, St. Elsewhere, Columbo and The Young Rebels (in which he co-starred in its 15-episode run, in 1970). Henteloff appeared in the first season of Barnaby Jones (five episodes).

He was a regular on the 1973 situation comedy Needles and Pins playing Myron Russo. He also appeared in some feature film roles including Slither (1973), Hardly Working (1980), Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986), and Payback (1999).
