Great thing about watching 70s TV series on DVD is who pops up in them, early in their careers.

Young Edward James Olmos had very few lines in the second season episode of Starsky and Hutch "The Psychic"

And little Don Johnson was the least credible American Indian in TV history (including F-Troop) in the second season Kung Fu episode "The Spirit-Helper."

Oy. :)

yo-excellent finds! like the CB I ordered for $7.50 online!

I have got to figure out how to do screen caps on my winDVD....

Are you sure Don Johnson was the least credible? What about the old guy in the TOS episode "Omega Glory"?

How about the Get Smart episode with the missile shaped like a giant arrow? Those Indians looked Jewish. :rolleyes: Okay. Would you believe two Italians and a Canadian? :p

How about Mel Brooks in Blazing Saddles? lol

How about John Saxon? The all purpose Indian-Mexican guy of the '70s.

Some of the more interesting roles I've seen on old 60's TV:

Robert Blake (also playing an indian) as a B-17 pilot in 12 O'Clock High.

A semi-regular in 12 O'Clock High was Robert Dornan who later became better known as firebrand congressman "B-1 Bob Dornan".

Daniel J. Tavanty (that's how he spelled it back then) of Hill Street Blues as a "space hippy " in Lost In Space.

Also in Lost in Space before the Carol Burnett show or Wonder Woman was Lyle Waggoner as a cyborg.

... or Anthony Quinn, the all-purpose Mexican/Indian/Arabic/Jew/Greek/Roman/French/Basque/Spanish/Portugese/Italian/Mongolian/Hun/Eskimo/Sumatran/Hunchback go-to guy of the last six decades? The man was versatile!

Recently spotted M Emmett Walsh in the sixties cult flick "Alices Restaurant", and he looked pretty much exactly like he did in movies in the eighties, nineties, and now! And I never realized that was a very young Cythania Nixon with braces in the decent Richard Dreyfuss comedy 'Let It Ride", probably because it's hard to remember anything from that movie except Jennifer Tilly in that red dress.

Daniel Travanti was also on the ol' "Flipper" TV show.

I like the fact that the prop/costume department forgot to put a hole in Edward James Olmos's shirt though he appears to have been shot... lazy.

That is one of my favorite movies going along with Auntie Mame and The Earthling!

Well, he was playing an alien, not an American Indian.

And I don't think anybody else has mentioned an actor with eyes as blue as Johnson's! :lol:

She was in "The Manhatten Project", too. With long blonde hair. :freak:
