Trivia:

Wore a toupee in most of his later roles. The exception was an episode of Remington Steele (TV series 1982-1986) from McCloud producer Michael Gleason. Here, Cannon played a TV news anchor who only wore his toupee while broadcasting. The rest of the time, he gloried in his dome. The toupee showed up when it shouldn't have, solving the case.
