    Robert Conrad was a great person in real life also. I spoke with him twice, he treated me great, like he treated everyone. He did more different things in show business, then anyone else has. And he did them all with near perfection. What a great person he was.

    Ross Martin's real name was Martin Rossenblat whose family moved to America from Poland when he was just a baby. Spoke seven languages; four of which he learned before the age of five. Graduated from law school and was a multitalented musician playing the violin, piano, drums, guitar and even the flute to which four of them you can see him playing in the series. AND he was a painter. Just needed to add a twelfth to your list. xoxo

      COVID IS A CONFIRMED SCAM I agree. They didn’t get the point of the show. Much the same as the Avengers film (not the Marvel franchise) with Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman. They did not understand the quirky sixties take on the spy thriller genre. A bit sardonic and a bit comedic. So both were great in their own rights but the remakes couldn’t “remake” the quirky sixties atmosphere that made these two series’ a success. The remakes were far too heavy handed and lacking in ... a sixties somethin’ which is hard to define.

    One of the best TV shows ever! I was knee-high to a married grasshopper and my older brother and I were enthralled! Also: Ross Martin, so fully talented, would sketch what he thought the character he'd pretend in make up should look like, give it to the make up chief/crew, and they made that the look for Gordon's "impersonation." Miguelito Loveless was one of the greatest villains ever! So ruthless and yet so cultured and he genuinely adored and respected children. (A very interesting and complex character.) An amazing program! I'm proud to have the complete series on DVD!

    Conrad played himself, essentially, as he played his public persona, in a 1969 Mannix episode, "The Playground." That his actual reputation among the studio stuntmen, gaffes, grips, and prop men was beyond reproach made the episode truly remarkable. Conrad trained under the boxing legend Willie Pep which is why his fight scenes outclassed all others on 1960's TV shows.

    • @johncharleson8733
      @johncharleson8733 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      If this is true it explains the uncanny moves Conrad made--even though they were stunts, there was something otherworldly about many of them--those strange ducks which seemed to sometimes catch even the stuntmen off guard.

    Ross Martin was considered at that time the most intelligent actor , he had been an atty., for the DA in California before he decided to be an actor, also spoke 6 languages ( Like Kirk Douglas ), follow by Jack Lord of " Hawaii 5-0 " , who had a degree in civil engineering. I had the honor and pleasure of knowing " Uncle " Bob , as those close to him called Robert Conrad and his fans. He got me into the Hollywood stuntmen association in the late 70's straight out of the Marines , besides me , he helped many other aspiring actors and actresses , " Uncle " Bob , may you rest in peace.

    Two additional facts, 1. Legend has it since William Shatner was also considered short, wikipedia lists him as 5ft. 10, they also only cast short actresses to pay against him on the show so we see a lot of the same actresses on both shows. 2. Only my opinion but I often thought that The Wild Wild West was the inspiration for Steam Punk, since many pf the "Mad Scientist" devices on the show often mixed 19th Century designs with modern techbology.

    This show was a classic ... did Conrad have it written into his contract that he not only would do his own stunts, he would appear shirtless within the first 11 minutes of every episode? And be kissing a beautiful actress at some time during each episode as well. Well done, Robert. One of the all time great theme songs too.

    Born in 1953 this was one of my favorite westerns and enjoyed how they travelled by train to most venues. It was unique as is noted was they were agents working directly for President Grant during a time just after the Civil War. Actually having the name Loveless at times I would be asked if I was any relation to Dr. Loveless.
