Robert Young I thought Tom Corbett was..."SPACE CADET!" Way before your time.
Lucas McCain-The Rifleman-Chuck Connor Ben Cartwright-Lorne Greene I can see George Baxter, but can't think of his name.

13. I've been a 'Lucy' fanatic for years |
|
He actually changed his name to simply Desi Arnaz when he entered the Army because his full name was too long for the forms. :7
Desi Jr.'s full name is Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y Ball.

15. Hell, I don't even recognize 90% of those names, much less the actors |

who played them, or what shows they were on.
