I was sad to see Bill Schallert's name on this list, I thought he was one of the great tv dads on "The Patty Duke Show." He's about 80 now.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Schallert's been a notorious committed Commie (not liberal) for years - was even blacklisted in the fifties. Filmfax magazine did a bio on him a few years ago, and frankly I was shocked. Next they'll tell me Whit Bissell wasa Stalinist!

Crap, had no idea. Of course, he played a newspaper editor on 'PDS', if I remember correctly.

"was even blacklisted in the fifties."

Amazing, given that it didn't seem to adversely effect his employment. He's got a staggering list of credits to his name in that decade.

"Filmfax magazine did a bio on him a few years ago, and frankly I was shocked. Next they'll tell me Whit Bissell wasa Stalinist!"

Probably gonna turn out Cyrano Jones, Arne Darvin and the tribbles were all Soviet agents, forget the Klingons.
