Additional Details

Other Works:
In 1974, he co-starred in an unaired sitcom pilot for ABC called "The Fireman's Ball." The plot concerned the misadventures of a group of San Francisco firemen. ABC liked the concept enough to recast and re-shoot another pilot in 1975, with Johnny Brown and David Ketchum the only returning actors but the network decided not to pick up the revised version for their fall line-up when the audience reaction to its 1975 airing was decidedly cool. more
