11 out of 13! Got No. 9 and No. 13 wrong. 😁😁😁😁😁
6 out of 13.
7 out of 13...there were a few I knew. I knew Michael Landon was a track star, I knew Chuck Connors played both pro baseball and basketball, I knew Pernell Roberts sang folk music because he had an album of his own and I knew that Leonard Nimoy was something of a poet. I guessed on the rest, pretty much...I figured that Will Geer was a vegetarian because he was something of a Bohemian type, but considering all the cartoon voices he did, I thought that Hal Smith was the ventriloquist among the Griffith cast, and here it was Don Knotts!
I also know that Burt Ward was into Tae Kwon Do because he fought Bruce Lee in the Batman/Green Hornet crossover episode.
I also thought it was Hal Smith.
4/13 Well what do I know...
Three out of 13.
9/13
Connors also played with the Brooklyn Dodgers & basketball with the Celtics. 11/13 even with a lot of guesses.
Got them all except for Mrs. Cleaver being a poker player.
You suppose Ward knew about that...?
Chuck Connors was also a pro basketball player with the Celtics
4/13 Well, that was awful, but I only actually knew two of them for certain.
I didn't do well on the quiz. I never would have thought James Arness was a surfer.
I only got three right. I was very surprised with the right answers.

fun fact! martin milner (pete malloy of adam-12) was an avid fisherman, and participated in several fishing tournaments over the years. also hosted his own radio show about it titled 'let's talk hookup'.
and that title of the show got past the censors :)
SOMEHOW xD
13/13. YAWN!
All very interesting. It is good that they all had other interests as their shows eventually came to an end and these interests serve to keep them going.
True for most of them. However javelin tossing, needlepoint and playing poker were probably not enough.
Many actresses and some actors have taken up needlepoint to fill in the hours they spend sitting around the set waiting . . . for lighting, cameras etc. to be set up. And sometimes when it fits in, certain characters can be seen during a scene working away on their needlepoint.
Watch reruns of Match Game--Gene Rayburn talks about doing needlepoint on plane rides to and from California [like Alan Alda, he lived on the East Coast] and different things he made. I remember one of the things he mentioned was a tennis racket cover.
6/13 🤣
