Usually he was a bit teed off for being cramped in some tiny place for days. It was always funny to see where he would pop out of, but 13 was also fun to see because of his varying attitudes. Few were regulars, except Agent 44 (played respectively by Victor French and Al Molinaro) and Agent 13 (Dave Ketchum) (I liked Ketchum the best!) He was always stuffed inside a sofa or a mailbox, or an ice machine, or an airport locker or. He was a nerd who took real joy in his work. They were wonderfully bland! My favorite scientist in the series was Parker (Marvin Seltzer). They were the kind of guys who you could imagine would spend fourteen hours a day behind their Bunsen burners, stopping only for a peanut-butter sandwich and a glass of milk. They weren't eloquent or snappy dressers. They were of course, modeled after "Q" in the James Bond series, but again, they weren't your Oxford variety. There were a number of scientists throughout the series. He was funnier in small, occasional doses. Larrabee didn't have much else to his character. Max was a lot of wonderful things besides being a fool. He was sort of like a tempered Mel Brooks who made Max seem like Albert Einstein! I was sort of disappointed when they made him a regular though because his foolish demeanor wore out pretty fast. Agent Larrabee (Robert Karvelas) probably appeared in most episodes, especially near the end of the series. But there were "semi-regulars" who made their appearance throughout the series. Max, 99 and the Chief were the only ones who appeared in every show (actually there were a few shows where we missed the Chief). They even had their share of union problems and labor cutbacks (featured in several episodes). James Bond may have had more style and class, but people in the land of Get Smart were regular folks like you and me (well, like you, anyway! I've been irregular ever since I ate a serving of Mrs. The Chief's office substituted for many other types of offices, and the airport terminal that was featured in several episodes looked like a bus station in Fresno, not an international airport in Washington D.C.! Even the Olympic teams stayed in what looked like a second rate Ramada Inn. One of the things I love about Get Smart is the fact that, especially in the early years, they had a very small budget. Read more about My favorite classic Hollywood actors and actresses.By all means this is just my opinion of my favorite actors and actresses, and it certainly is up for debate! So, as I've done above, I'd like to now list my top ten of favorite actresses from the fifties: It was rare for a woman to have the leading role in a movie back in the fifties, at least compared to these days. Usually, the leading role would be for the male and the co-starring female would play some kind of romantic interest throughout the film. The hairstyles of actresses in the fifties were usually permed with some form of curly bobcut or were similar to Marilyn Monroe's signature hairstyle. The dressing for women was elegant, classic and a tad adventurous, but nothing compared to the sexual revolution that Hollywood encountered from the seventies and onward. Just as Hollywood started producing movies with handsome suave men who could actually act, they too were producing these movies with stunningly-beautiful women who, just like their male counterparts, could also act. So without further ado, here's my list of top ten actors from the fifties: Oh, the acting! While the fifties were the first decade to portray handsome men and beautiful women on screen, it's true that these men didn't just have the looks, they too could act! Their hair would be slicked with pomade and hair styling cremes while they'd make sure that their classic side part or slicked back hair was as polished in a classic style as polished were their shoes! The clothing and hairstyles of actors in the fifties were just two examples of how far these men went to look like real men. For one, my favorite actors and actresses are mainly from the decade of the fifties and they don't call the fifties as Hollywood's golden era for nothing!īack in those days, it was common for men to be well dresses, regardless of the character they'd play. I think the sixties were a time of real movies and series.
