    I was just pointing out that he was far from retired as an actor in general. Furthermore on that point, he went on to lead his own show, Too Close for Comfort, in the early '80s.

    ETA: I just found an interesting one when I was looking up something else...Ted Cassidy did the voice of Ben Grimm on the late '70s Fantastic Four cartoon.

    ... and The Ted Knight Show in 1978. Two Emmys makes the man in Hollywood, but it does not guarantee success.

    Which was never in question, since there are countless live-action actors who don't do animation, especially back then when it was considered slumming. And of course I'm of the generation that grew up watching TMTMS, so I hardly need to have Ted Knight's career explained to me. I knew him as Ted Baxter long before I knew he'd done animation work. I just misread his IMDb credits and thought that he'd kept up his Hanna-Barbera work during the MTM years, so I wondered why he only seemed to have stopped doing Filmation work. But on close inspection, he mostly stopped doing both at the same time.

    The Virginian, "The Modoc Kid," 1967. Paul Fix is a doctor who has to treat the partner of this young bad guy.

    I'm getting the impression that perhaps you're not seeing the post that I was responding to, which was another poster musing, "Or he'd retired by then?" I was informing that poster of Ted Knight's career status at that point, not you.

    I have to ask but what is America's fascination with the name Modok? It appears a lot in sci-fi and comics. Is there actually such a name? :shifty:

    You could use the "snapshot" function in VLC player. Easier than capturing the entire desktop.

    The Modoc are a people who originally lived in the Northern California and Oregon region. There is a county in California and a number of other places in the US with that name.



    A few more from The Virginian in 1967:

    Joseph Mell in "Bitter Harvest."

    Phillip Pine and Frank Overton in "A Welcoming Town."

    I thought for sure I had posted this but I can't find it. But I have an image in my Star Trek actor file, so here it is:

    In modern times the Modoc are enrolled in the Klamath Tribes in Oregon and the Modoc Tribe in Oklahoma. The Modocs who fought in the Modoc War of 1872-73 were sent to the Indian Territory.

    There is a movie called Drum Beat (1954) about the Modoc War. It is very inaccurate, but probably the most historically accurate movie about the western Indian Wars made in the 1950s.

    There is another word modoc, which happens to be the other kind of Indian word. A number of Asian elephants were named Modoc.

    I've been doing CTRL-Print Screen to just grab the window, but I didn't know about the snapshot feature. I'll give it a try, thanks! :)

    Ya beat me to it.

    Indeed. Note the small, unbolded 'f' in Nerys Myk's post.
