My Favorite 1960s Dragnet #33: Homicide: DR-22
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010The first of three episodes featuring the fabulous Burt Martin as a guest star to make my list. Calvin Lampe, an old man is the only friend of a deceased young woman. Is he an innocent old crank or the world’s oldest psycho killer. The answer surprised me when I watched this show for the first time.
The actor Burt Martin has a fascinating story. He didn’t get his start on camera until he was 67 years old. Yet, he became one of television’s most recognizable actors appearing on shows such as Andy Griffith, Adam-12, and All in the Family. To see him perform is always a treat.
