Father of David Glen Eisley
Has a daughter, Nancy, born in 1955.
Has a son, David, born in 1952.
Plays the piano.
Studied drama at the University of Miami "not because I thought I could really be an actor, but because I was taking the easy way out to get a degree."
Survived by four children, David, Nan, Jonathan and Amanda, and seven grandchildren.
Was cast in "Hawaiian Eye" (1959) after he was seen in the comedic play "Who Was That Lady?" at the Players Ring Theater in Los Angeles.
When a Los Angeles Times TV critic belittled "Hawaiian Eye" (1959), Eisley wrote a letter printed in the critic's 7 December 1960 column: "I too would like to see more food for thought on television. I have children whose viewpoints will be largely affected in certain areas by their many hours gazing at the one-eyed monster. But our world is solemn enough as it is. I'd hate to limit them - or myself - to a leisure-time diet devoid of laughter, adventure and romance."
Worked as a stunt driver as his acting career waned.
