sebastian cabot
about this time cabot began taking on television work, appearing in such series as "alfred hitchcock presents", "the adventures of hiram holliday" (1956–57), on frank lovejoy's detective series "meet mcgraw" (1958), with james best in the western series "bonanza" (1960) and "pony express" ("the story of julesburg", 1960), "the beachcomber" (series regular in 1962), "the red skelton show" (various roles 1961-1971), and "the twilight zone" ("a nice place to visit," 1960). cabot had a two-year period as one of the three leads as college professor dr. carl hyatt on eric ambler's detective show "checkmate" (1960–1962), which co-starred anthony george and doug mcclure. as "checkmate" fit into the cbs saturday schedule, cabot appeared as eric whitaker in the 1960 episode "five o'clock friday" on the abc adventure series, "the islanders". cabot was a regular panellist on the television game show, "stump the stars". he appeared on the nbc interview programme "here's hollywood". in 1964, he hosted the short-lived television series, "suspense", and voiced or narrated a few other film and television projects, before he was cast from 1966 to 1971 as giles french in the cbs series "family affair", with brian keith and kathy garver. cabot did not halt his other film and television work during the run of "family affair"; he took a leave of absence from the series at one point; his replacement was veteran british character actor john williams, who played french's brother nigel. cabot was also the host of "journey to midnight" as well as other work from the period. he was so vividly etched as french in viewers' minds that he never shook the image even after "family affair" ended production in 1971. he received another role as the host (winston essex) of "ghost story" (1972), a supernatural anthology (it was retitled "circle of fear" after he left the show). following the series' demise, cabot played kris kringle in the television remake of "miracle on 34th street" (1973). cabot appeared in another christmas project, the television film "the city that forgot about christmas" (1974), and narrated two more "pooh" projects, "winnie the pooh and tigger, too!" and "the many adventures of winnie the pooh". he also released an album of spoken recitations of songs by bob dylan, as "sebastian cabot, actor/bob dylan, poet", in 1967. two tracks from this album appear on the rhino records compilation "golden throats: the great celebrity sing off".
