Robert Walker Jr.'s going to be a guest on tonight's H&I airing of 12 O'Clock High.

I made him go away!

Not surprising, but interesting: last night I watched a Perry Mason episode called "The Case of the Blushing Pearls". Not only was George Takei in the episode, but another character made reference to some pearls as having come from the Sulu Sea.
^ Ooh, that's a nifty find.
Wow, that's pretty cool. I love it when an old part of an actor's foreshadows a future role. I once saw an episode of Charlie's Angels from the late 70s guest-starring Timothy Dalton. He was literally described as a "James Bond-like" character.
That wouldn't have been quite as coincidental an association...Dalton had reportedly been considered for the role of Bond earlier than that, though accounts differ as to exactly when. Dalton thought he was too young at the time.
Better still...Herr Walker mit Luger!

Is there a term for that? Roleshadowing?
Today's Tarzan ep on Heroes & Icons was The Blue Stone of Heaven, a 2-parter that featured William Marshall as a crazy monomaniacal colonel using a legendary jade statue as leverage to take over an area. A google search turned up a really crappy screen grab:
Also present in the episode was Jason Evers, Rael from Wink of an Eye, and Lloyd Hanes, who was in Where No Man Has Gone Before before starring in the show Room 222.
This 2-parter was apparently edited into a feature film titled Tarzan's Jungle Rebellion!

That's a bit like Roger Moore in The Man Who Haunted Himself (1970) going on about industrial espionage as if it's nothing like James bond 007! A part he would take three years later!

Yes I know on a 1965 Millicent Martin show I believe! Sorry your post has come through blank on my screen but I'm guessing that's what you have posted!

Indeed. 1964, it says.
Man, comedy sketches were looooooooooong back in the day.
Lee Meriwether shares the guest spotlight (and some coffee) with James (Book 'em, Danno!) MacArthur.
