Never seen him/her in gd, was he the one that sang (wondering star)?
 
Just kidding he was the fall guy in an 80's American action/adventure series:smile:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0081859/

Plot Outline: The adventures of a film stunt performer who moonlights as a bounty hunter when movie work is slow.

He sang 'I'm the Unknown Stuntman' the theme song I believe.

EDIT: Didn't Clint Eastwood sing that? Oh no it was Lee Marvin, Clint sang I talk to the trees, which got to number four in the UK charts(trivial pursuit question) Lee Majors was also the bionic man, hhduddudududududuuu... dhhduduhdhdhdu great stuff, have to be born before 1980 to know what I'm going on about though.

Yes that's it, I believe he also played every character in every series from 1970-1986 including Buck Rodgers, Shaft and Kojak :wink: :smile:

No, Kojak was Telly Savalas (sp?)
Yul Brynner was the pharoah in 10 Commandments.

John Shaft was a bad ass, I believe that's his oficial title, but unnoficially he was a detective IIRC. Like Magnum but with a bigger moustache and sideburns and black obviously.

EDIT: this is one monster Threadjack, sorry Wolram :smile:

Which version of MASH is this?

In the movie, MASH (1970), Hawkeye and Trapper were played by Donald Sutherland and Eliot Gould respectively. Major Burns was played by Robert Duvall.

In the TV series (1972), Alan Alda played Hawkeye and Wayne Rogers played Trapper John. McLean Stevenson played the hilariously funny Colonel Blake, and his replacement was Harry Morgan as Colonel Potter. One may remember Harry Morgan as Sargent Bill Gannon from Dragnet.

Lee Marvin starred in the Dirty Dozen (1967) as Maj. John Reisman.

Alan Ladd was a movie star from the 30's - 60's.
