DeForest Kelley, Steve Canyon, “Operation Jettison” (1958)

I have to imagine the conversation between the producer and casting director here went something like this:

Producer: Ok, we need a really, really good-looking guy to dress up in a hypermasculine costume and look incredibly hot while being barely visible because of terrible lighting. You know anyone like that?

Casting: *Turns off The Law and Jake Wade and cracks knuckles* Boy, do I. 😏

#seriously #this was the same year and is the exact same concept #make him look hot as all hell and then give him three lines and stick him in the dark #wtf 50s hollywood #anyway #at least i got a couple of hands gifs out of it 🥵#deforest kelley #baby!de #gi!de #dk gifsets #classic tv #steve canyon #50s tv #this POS does have john hoyt #aka dr piper #in it so there’s that #several years before he had to almost hang poor de on bonanza lol #the law and jake wade
