WOW - Reg and I have been watching all the old TV shows on our local RTV ( Retro Televison Network ) station. WE love Dragnet, Alfred Hitchcock mysteries, and our favorite "Sea Hunt". I used to watch "Sea Hunt" with my Dad and I wanted to be a SCUBA Diver when I grew up - but my Dad said it wasn't for girls. With our background as SCUBA Instructors Reg and I now laugh a lot at the errors and inconsistanties in the show - but we still love it. I didn't realize it when I was 7 or 8 years old, but Lloyd Bridges was a real HUNK!.
These old programs have a lot of young actors - many who became stars later on. On the Sea Hunt episode today , (Season 2, dated 4-12-1959) titled "Nerve Gas", we spotted a very young and lean Leonard Nimoy. TVRAGE.COM says it was his forth appearance on the show - but we haven't seen him before this so maybe it was his first role where he had a lot of lines to speak ??? If you want to see the episode, go to HULU.com.
Lloyd Briges was a real Diver - check out the UW photo equipment he's holding in the photo shot. The picture here of Leonard Nimoy is when he was a guest actor on the TV series "Superman". He is holding onto Cub Reporter Jimmy Olson's coat collar ( played by Jack Carson ) so he must have had a part as a bad guy ????
