Five years before Jeopardy! made him a household name, Art Fleming was an actor. His best known film role was, insofar as this writer knows, was in "A Hatful of Rain". However, Fleming made his small screen series debut in 1959's International Detective.
Fleming plays Ken Franklin, the titular sleuth. The series lasted 39 episodes, which some sources say stretched across two years (1959-61). Until episodes began surfacing on YouTube last week, I didn't even know this show existed.
Let's check the opener, "The Conway Case""
Fleming also did commercials before landing the MC's gig on Jeopardy!, such as for Pepsodent in 1962.
Let's see if a cabler somewhere picks up this show.
