Ah, I should have guessed it was Holmes, which would have led to Jeremy Brett at least.

I'd never have guessed Charlton Heston without Google.

Nice one.

[Jolly]

Many people do not know Heston was a B-25 gunner. He served in the Aleutians, but later in the war.

Heston loved theater, but almost never played Broadway. He played regional stuff. He had played Holmes in the play in Los Angeles.
