Aw, man. Watching Unsolved Mysteries was a weekly staple at my house growing up.

I had no idea he was in any movies until years later when I saw 1941 and Is Paris Burning?

OK, let's list the Top 5.

Morgan Freeman
Kelsey Grammer (I like his American Revolution history stuff on Fox Business)
That dude with the English? accent that does all of the WWII newsreels.

Ugh, I'm drawing a blank.
It's been a long day.

Robert Stack is Elliot Ness to people my age. He played Ness in The Untouchables TV series from1959–1963. The crooks were tough, but Stack's Ness was even tougher.He might have had Bad Motherf*cker imprinted on his wallet. We watched it in syndication as kids. It was really violent for the times.The violence is comparable to Bonnie and Clyde (1967) or The Wild Bunch (1969) Would love to watch it now.

Just Watch doesn't show it streaming anywhere.

Ness had a great narrator to learn from. Walter Winchell narrated the show.

Found Episode 2 from Season 1 on YouTube:



The whole four years of the series is available on Amazon for $38.49

The British guy that does the nature documentaries has to be at the top of any list.

It was terrifying.

There was stuff on TV in the 80s that.....well, presentation wise.....

Should've been Rated R....ABC Afternoon Specials was also dedicated to scaring the crap out of kids.....we're all gonna get kidnapped, raped and hooked on drugs....aggressive programming to say the least.

This is gospel. He and his crew of Untouchables busted the mob on a weekly basis. I watched the shows as they premiered as a kid growing up from the early 50's and that show was "must watch TV" as a kid.

It was a break from all the westerns that were aired on just about every channel, every night back then.
