Loved him in “Voyage”. When the show originally aired in the 60s, I never missed an episode. Was thrilled when he appeared in Master Ninja along with some other personal favorites – George Lazenby, David McCallum, and Monte Markham. Rest in Peace, Robert.
He wsan’t in Voyage the movie from 1961. I have that with the plastic still on. Need to watch it.
no he was not. it is also on Netflix streaming.
The late Del Monroe (who was in the pre-credit sequence from The Girl in Lovers Lane) was the only actor who appeared in both the film and the series.
Only David Hedison(born 1927) is still alive from the regular cast members of “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea”, one of my favorite 60’s shows.
