McCullough has had a summer home in Camden for more than a decade. He and his wife bought it to be near their daughter and grandchildren, who live there year-round.

He first gained fame on TV in the ’80s in the medical drama “St. Elsewhere” and has been in many movies. He played a memorable brutal prison guard in “The Green Mile,” based on the writing of Mainer Stephen King.
