For the TV or Not TV brain trust... Tonight's episode of "Hawaii Five-0" guest stars Ed Asner, playing art smuggler August March, a role he played on a 1975 episode of the original "Hawaii Five-O."
Today's L.A. Times story about this event says, "Producers say it may be the first time in television history that a guest performer has played the same role on separate versions of the same show." I came up with the counter-example of Bill(y) Mumy and Cloris Leachman, who played the same characters in episodes of both the original "Twilight Zone" and the most recent revival (namely, Anthony "Wish Them into the Cornfield" Fremont and his mother). Any others? -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
