Name that Actor/Actress (or Role)

Salome Jens K Callan Annette O'Toole George -
This movie was based on episodes of a famous TV show. Three episodes of the show were slightly modified; a fourth segment of the movie touched briefly on another episode. References to several other episodes are strewn throughout. Three actors (an adult and two children) were killed in an accident on the set. The children were actually under-age and acting without the proper permits. Their scene was removed from the movie and they do not appear in the credits. The accident had a strong effect on the directors. It ended the friendship of wo of them, who had collaborated on a number of well-known films. George (Spoiler: if you know the answer to this, it may help you with my current TV Show Mash-up puzzle.)

This is a pre-1970 TV show (just to narrow the field a bit). As the two main actors were essentially co-stars, the show had two sets of opening credits, one with one actor listed first, one with the other. The choice of which one to use seems rather random, not indicating which actor had a larger role in the episode. Although Pierre Jalbert had been employed at MGM for nearly a decade, he had no actual acting experience prior to being cast in a supporting role on the series. Up to that time his job at MGM had been in the capacity of a technician in the film editing department. A feature-film adaptation of the series was planned, with Bruce Willis in the lead as the lead, but the film never materialized. One of the stars died in 1982, during filming of a movie based on another famous TV series. The lead characters were almost always called by their last names and almost never called by their first names, though one was "Chip" and the other, "Gil." "Chip" was obviously a nickname, but no other first name (e.g., Charles) was mentioned. A typical "pep talk" from the show: "All right, just knock it off. YOU KNOCK IT OFF! You people make me sick. Go on, look at yourselves. You call yourselves a squad? You're a bunch of GOOF-UPS! Littlejohn, you cause nothing but trouble! You mind everybody's business except your own. From now on, you mind your OWN business and you FOLLOW ORDERS! Kirby - KIRBY! You're a hot-headed show-off who thinks of himself first and everybody else second. You fly off the handle every time you turn around! ... Several sources have stated that one star was to carry the M1928A1 Thompson submachine gun. After two days of filming, he complained about the weight of the Thompson and switched to the lighter M1 carbine and carried it throughout the rest of the series. The other star was then given the Thompson to carry. After two weeks he also complained of its weight. A lighter replica Thompson was made out of wood and was carried by the latter star until it was time for a firefight, at which time he would switch back to the real Thompson. The replica can be seen with its incorrect ejection port. Originally aired on Tuesday nights at 7:30 p.m. opposite NBC's Laramie, CBS' Gunsmoke , and The Lloyd Bridges Show. George

And we have a new record, with Zeta. The good news is, it only has a 50% chance of hitting Louisiana. George

Coming to America. You could probably list Arsenio and Eddie about five times. Best line from the movie: "I tied my own shoes once. It is a highly overrated experience." George

That looks like Jesse Martin, but if it is, I don't know any movie he's in. George -

Not getting it yet. George -
You can enter a Zoom meeting without your video. I'm thinking that you probably would see the faces of those who DO use their video, but you can remain anonymous. George

Well, Epsilon is out there and predicted to reach hurricane strength, though it should stay in the middle of the Atlantic. I think that ties us for the 2004 season for most named storms. And there's that disturbance in the Caribbean... George

I remember watching that movie on TV when I was young (maybe early teens). Even edited for TV, it was terrifying. I sat through it all, hoping for a (relatively) happy ending, only to see the last survivor shot by the sheriff. What a dismal film! I'll post a cheerier one, soon. George -
