It is interesting to me that Karl Swenson played old men on TV throughout the sixties. Several guest appearances on Perry Mason and other popular shows of the time. He always appeared in " disguise". Until his role in Little House. When he was actually an old man
To me, the disguise thing is the least compelling part of the Mr. Chameleon show. For me, Its all about his vaguely sophisticated personality and slightly British accent, his chemistry with Detective-Seargant Dave Arnold, and when he messes with and gets angry at at all of the "high society" suspects. I love it.
Agreed. I listen to many, I love the recurring voices, especially the older woman who usually plays the maid... Gertrude in this case. It's campy fun 🎉🎉
I love it. He's so talented, Karl Swenson. On my 2nd round. I'm looking for more..
EARLY AFTER NOON HUG HUG HUG. JUST KEEPING MY FAITH
You sound like Uncle Fester on the Addams Family! LOL
Thank you!
Adam, are we ever told what Mr. Chameleon's rank is? I assume a Lt. Or maybe an inspector? He only refers to himself as Mister.
That last article written is rubbish! She is genuinely clueless. Oh the stuff out there.
