Ken Scott (Actor) .. Bart
Born: January 01, 1927
Died: January 01, 1986
Trivia: Lead and second lead actor, onscreen from 1955.
Robert Stephens (Actor) .. Henri Morgan
Born: July 14, 1931
Died: November 12, 1995
Birthplace: Bristol
Trivia: Trained at the Northern Theatre School in Bradford, Bristol-born Robert Stephens made his professional bow with the Caryl Jenner Mobile Theatre. Stephens first appeared on the London stage in a 1956 production of The Crucible. He graduated to stardom in the title role of the 1958 production Epitaph for George Dillon, a little-known but entertaining work that remains one of his favorites. In 1963, Stephens joined the newly formed National Theatre Company, appearing as Horatio in the organization's inaugural production of Hamlet; four years later, Stephens was appointed the National Theatre's associate director. In films from 1960, Stephens' better-known movie roles include the title character in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1969) and Teddy Lloyd in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969), which starred the actor's then-wife Maggie Smith. Robert Stephens was honored with knighthood in 1994.
Letitia Roman (Actor) .. Meg
Dave King (Actor) .. Pee Wee
Born: June 23, 1929
Rafer Johnson (Actor) .. John Gammel
Born: August 18, 1935
Trivia: African American athlete Rafer Johnson was but a few years out of UCLA when he distinguished himself at the 1960 Olympics, scoring 8,392 points in the Olympic Decathalon. A film career followed posthaste, first in flicks like Elvis' Wild in the Country (1961), then in outdoor adventures like Pirates of Tortuga (1961) and None But the Brave (1965). Because truly good roles for black performers were still hard to come by in the mid-1960s, Rafer occasionally had to accept demeaning "fierce native" assignments in films like Tarzan and the Great River (1967). He was also a semi-regular on the "blaxploitation" film scene of the 1970s, acting as producer of 1974's Buck Six. In 1979, Rafer Johnson enjoyed a more dignified role in the TV miniseries Roots: The Next Generation.
Rachel Stephens (Actor) .. Phoebe
Stanley Adams (Actor) .. Capt. Montbars
Born: January 01, 1915
Died: April 27, 1977
Trivia: After a few desultory movie appearances in the mid-1930s, rotund American actor Stanley Adams came to films permanently in 1952, to re-create his stage role as the bartender in the movie version of Death of a Salesman. His busiest period was 1955-1965, when he appeared on virtually every major TV series in America. His video roles ranged from a pompous time-travelling scientist on Twilight Zone to a wisecracking witch doctor on Gilligan's Island. Shortly after completing his last film, 1976's Woman in the Rain, Stanley Adams committed suicide at the age of 62.
Edgar Barrier (Actor) .. Sir Thomas Modyford
Born: March 04, 1907
Died: June 20, 1964
Trivia: In his few major film appearances, American actor Edgar Barrier exuded a professorial air, which he frequently augmented by sporting a well-groomed beard. Barrier's best acting opportunities came via his association with Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre, both in its Broadway incarnation and its radio spinoff. Welles used Barrier to good advantage in his film productions of Journey Into Fear and MacBeth; in the latter picture, Barrier plays the unfortunate Banquo, whose materialization as a ghost is one of the film's highlights. Outside of the Welles orbit, Barrier worked steadily on radio, notably in the spooky confections of Lights Out maven Arch Oboler. In 1945, Barrier starred in the radio detective weekly The Saint. Many of Edgar Barrier's film roles were brief, and often uncredited (War of the Worlds [1953], On the Double [1961] etc.); his most memorable film appearance was as the mad sportsman Count Zaroff, enthusiastic hunter of human beings, in A Game of Death (1945).

Trivia: British actor Maxwell Reed entered films in 1947. At first, Reed enjoyed star billing in such films as The Brothers (1948) and The Dark Man (1951). Later on, he settled into such secondary roles as Ajax in Helen of Troy (1955) and "murder" victim Miles Hardwicke in The Notorious Landlady (1962). In 1955, he starred on the weekly TV series Captain David Grief, filmed in Mexico. Maxwell Reed was the first husband of actress Joan Collins.
