David Lawrence Groh Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
David Groh's highly anticipated "marriage" to Valerie Harper on the seventh episode of the sitcom Rhoda (1974) was the highest rated episode of that show's entire run and it was this co-starring role that situated him squarely on the Hollywood TV map.

David and actor 'Judd Hirsch' have crossed paths in several important and interesting ways professionally. Judd was starring in the off Broadway play "Hot L Baltimore" in New York when David replaced him for three weeks in 1973. The MTM producers for the sitcom "Rhoda" originally wanted Judd for the role of Joe Girard, but Hirsch turned them down and David got the part. After David's husband character was written off the "Rhoda" show, Judd appeared for a couple of episodes as a new boyfriend. Finally, Judd opened in the Neil Simon autobiographical play "Chapter Two" on Broadway. After its initial run, David replaced Judd and made his Broadway debut opposite Anita Gillette.
