Artemis Gordon is such a ham actor
Not Ross Martin. He’s always fantastic. But Artie lays it on pretty thick!
shareThat was the whole point of Ross Martin's take on Artemis Gordon. He was spoofing great actors, much the same way Jon Lovitz did on SNL. One of the best lines Martin ever delivered as Gordon was when he was playing a maitre 'd in a restaurant, and he had to get out of the place quickly, so he pretends he is disgusted working there, and says "I quit! I nonja work in a hash-a house-a!"
shareIf James West was the yang, Artemis Gordon was the yin.
shareMy wife and I watch the show mainly to see Martin.
