Clu Gulager<\/a>, long time character actor. THR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

165 acting credits in IMDB<\/a>. Man was in everything, from “The Virginian” to “The F.B.I” to “The Last Picture Show” to “Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood”, with lots of stops along the way…<\/p>\n

…including “Mannix”. (“The Man Who Wasn’t There”, season 6, episode 16.)<\/p>\n

Roger E. Mosley<\/a>. Credits<\/a> beyond “Magnum, P.I.” include “The Rockford Files”, “McCloud”, “McQ” (which Clu Gulager was also in), “The Mack”, and “The Sixth Sense” (the 1972 TV series).<\/p>\n

As Mosley remembered it, his agent told him: \u201d \u2018It\u2019s starring this guy Tom Selleck. Tom Selleck has made about five pilot shows \u2026 and none of them has sold. So here\u2019s what you do, Roger: Sign up for the show, go over to Hawaii, they\u2019ll treat you good for the 20 days it will take to shoot the [pilot], you\u2019ll get a lot of money, and then you come home. A show with Tom Selleck always fails, and you\u2019ll be fine.\u2019<\/a>
\n\u201cWell, 8 1\/2 years later \u2026 \u201c<\/a>
\nMosley in real life was a licensed private helicopter pilot (something the producers discovered after he was hired, he said) but not allowed to fly on the series.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
