Planet of the Apes

But I found another agent, and that's when I did, like you said, um, Happy Days, and Barnaby Jones, and then I did Helter Skelter.

His father was a symphony conductor, his mother was a concert pianist, and his sister, Laurie Singer, would go on to become an accomplished actress herself.

Before the height of his career, Mark began building his impressive resume with appearances on shows like Planet of the Apes, Roots the Next Generations, and Barnaby Jones.

Peter Cook's 1971 chat show, which was cancelled by the BBC after an amazing three episodes, never mind a series.

And question five.

Also starring Roddy McDowall, another short-lived sci-fi series shown in 1977, where Roddy played the character of Dr. Jonathan Willoway.
