Budd Allbright credit ?


I see someone has added Budd Allbright to the cast of each episode of NOTG on IMDB - while Budd was a stuntman on the show he was NOT included in the cast credits of the episodes, which were headed by either Tony Franciosa, Gene Barry or Robert Stack - the ONLY exceptions being Cliff Potter (as Andy Hill in 'Pineapple Rose' under Gene Barry's segment in season one), plus Darren McGavin (as freelance newsman Sam Hardy in 'Goodbye Harry') and Vera Miles (as Hilary Vanderman in 'Man of The People') both under Gene Barry's segment in season two -(GB making brief cameo appearances in those episodes)


While in the third season special guest leads: Robert Wagner (as David Corey in 'The Man Who Killed A Ghost'), Peter Falk (as Lewis Corbett in 'A Sister From Napoli'), and for two other episodes Robert Culp (as Paul Tyler in 'Cynthia is Alive...' and 'Little Bear Died Running') were guest lead actors (the three guest leads deputising due to Tony Franciosa's abrupt and unplanned exit from the show during the final season after he completed three episodes of his rotation segment)

Otherwise it was either Tony, Gene , or Robert who topped the cast listings for the rest of the episodes, and Budd Allbright 's name was NOT included in the episode cast credits.

NBC Universal PLEASE wake up and put this superb show out on DVD including the 1966 TV pilot movie; 'Fame is The Name of The Game' starring Tony Franciosa (which could go at the end of the TV series third season as TF was only in three episodes in that final season, thus if they put the seasons out as individual DVD box sets it would increase TF's contribution by putting the pilot movie on any third box set).
