The TV show was not in the 1940's. America has been in several wars since WWII. The show aired when a WWII vet would still be at a reasonable age to star in a TV show. George

I do not subscribe to any streaming service. I had considered getting DC's service, but after I was told that the shows were extremely violent and full of profanity, I took a pass. Supposedly, HBO is starting a streaming service which will carry a Green Lantern show. I MIGHT get that one. George

One of the stars of this series could not pass the US Marine Corps physical during World War II, and ended up serving in the U.S. Army. During his service he distinguished himself by taking part in 14 assault landings, including Leyte, Luzon, Bataan and Corregidor. The battles mentioned in this clue were all major WWII battles (Pacific theater). Even George Peppard wasn't old enough to have fought in WWII. The actor mentioned in the first clue was born in 1923. The other stars were born in 1930 and 1931. As America was engaged in a war at the time of this show (that is, when the show aired), many viewers wrote to ask why the characters remained stateside. The producers of the show (quite reasonably, IMHO) did not feel that the horrors of war were appropriate for this show. The same star, in his role, had the following decorations: Bronze Star (2), Purple Heart, Navy Presidential Unit Citation (2), Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal (3), World War Two Victory Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Korean Service Medal (4 Campaigns), U.N. Service Medal, and a Korean Presidential Unit Citation. In addition, he wears Expert Rifleman and Expert Pistol marksmanship badges. The main star of the show's character was spun off from a very popular show at the time. The show was not really a sequel to the show it spun off from. The main star of the featured show was an occasional character on the first. The star of the first show did make an appearance or two on the spinoff. When the main star decided to quit the show and have a variety show, the producers thought they could re-brand the show without him. (Coincidentally, this is almost exactly what happened with the show this one was spun off from.) When the other two stars opted to join the variety show, the producers gave up on the idea. George

Morrison was tapped for Charlie Sheen's role. Yes. Platoon. George

There's a chance, but it's a very small one. (In other words, it is not Catch-22.) Once I start naming actors, it will probably give it away, but... According to the director, he intentionally cast Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe against type (Berenger, who played the ruthless, sadistic Sergeant Barnes, was mostly famous at that point for playing good guys, while Dafoe, who had primarily played villains up until then, played the heroic, compassionate Sergeant Elias). The casting worked, and both men received Oscar nominations for their work. The author wrote the first draft of this movie in 1971, and sent it to Jim Morrison in hopes that he would play the part that another actor would ultimately play. Morrison had the script on him when he was found dead in Paris. In many U.S. military leadership classes, the character of Lieutenant Wolfe is used as an example of how not to behave as a junior officer. During the filming of one scene in a helicopter, the helicopter banked hard, and one of the stars almost fell out. Another star grabbed him just in time. George

I'm not sure what Human means by withdrawing from play. Since Strathairn is the answer, it only matters if Raf was "cheating." I agree with WW that looking up an actor's photo (in a movie or TV role not mentioned in the clue) just to get his name is NOT cheating. In a related thread (Triple Movie Links), when the final clue was "Meet Joe Black," I believed Brad Pitt to be in it, so I IMDb-ed Brad Pitt, and found that I was correct. (I sometimes get him confused with Leo DiCaprio and Matt Damon.) I don't consider THAT cheating, though I would have considered it cheating to IMDb "Met Joe Black." Raf's up. George
