Ross Martin's real name was Martin Rossenblat whose family moved to America from Poland when he was just a baby. Spoke seven languages; four of which he learned before the age of five. Graduated from law school and was a multitalented musician playing the violin, piano, drums, guitar and even the flute to which four of them you can see him playing in the series. AND he was a painter. Just needed to add a twelfth to your list. xoxo
Yes, and what steams some people up, myself included, Is Ross Martin never got a Star in Hollywood to honor him, even posthumously. With his talent, doesn’t he deserve one? ⭐️
"EXPERIMENT IN TERROR" , "The Great Race", that tv series on the boat???(I've seen it, but can't remember right now)!! Ross Martin! FFS ! HE'S OVERDUE!!! I MEAN "COLOMBO "! FER GOD'S SAKE!!!😢😮😮
One of the best TV shows ever! I was knee-high to a married grasshopper and my older brother and I were enthralled! Also: Ross Martin, so fully talented, would sketch what he thought the character he'd pretend in make up should look like, give it to the make up chief/crew, and they made that the look for Gordon's "impersonation." Miguelito Loveless was one of the greatest villains ever! So ruthless and yet so cultured and he genuinely adored and respected children. (A very interesting and complex character.) An amazing program! I'm proud to have the complete series on DVD!
And what wimps those TV exec's were to cancel the show because of so-called "violence". It was all well choreographed fighting with no blood and very well done. Just stupid.
Conrad played himself, essentially, as he played his public persona, in a 1969 Mannix episode, "The Playground." That his actual reputation among the studio stuntmen, gaffes, grips, and prop men was beyond reproach made the episode truly remarkable. Conrad trained under the boxing legend Willie Pep which is why his fight scenes outclassed all others on 1960's TV shows.
If this is true it explains the uncanny moves Conrad made--even though they were stunts, there was something otherworldly about many of them--those strange ducks which seemed to sometimes catch even the stuntmen off guard.
To bad it went that way. This could have been another Star Wars, Batman, Iron Man...... franchise and with all the merchandising, maybe even theme park rides.
COVID IS A CONFIRMED SCAM I agree. They didn’t get the point of the show. Much the same as the Avengers film (not the Marvel franchise) with Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman. They did not understand the quirky sixties take on the spy thriller genre. A bit sardonic and a bit comedic. So both were great in their own rights but the remakes couldn’t “remake” the quirky sixties atmosphere that made these two series’ a success. The remakes were far too heavy handed and lacking in ... a sixties somethin’ which is hard to define.
@@dougs3196 ......they made the movie too corny, horny, and casting Will Smith was a horrible choice.....Smith should have starred in The Matrix instead as he was originally considered. Mark Wahlberg would have been a better choice for Wild, Wild West. Robert Conrad would have had a cameo in the film probably.
@@dougs3196 That type of casting is shameful, it's like a hand me down to black actors, given them already established characters instead creating a new character around the actor's popularity, like they were talking about Idris Alba being James Bond? really? and Will Smith can take some of the blame too, jumping on the well known title instead of taking a chance on an unknown title (at the time) the Matrix
I loved The Wild Wild West, Robert & Ross !!!! ❤️❤️. They were a perfect match & great partners. 👮👮 I own the series. There has never been a show like this before & never will be.
Here's another factoid worth mentioning. Conrad's real life father, Leonard Falk, played the part of a mute asylum orderly in one of the best written episodes of the series, "The Night of the the Murderous Spring" with the irreplaceable Michael Dunn reprising his role as Doctor Loveless.
I remember watching the wild wild west show in the late 60's & into the 70's. It was my favorite show back then, I could hardly wait to get home from school and watch the Wild Wild
Among other amazing shows of the era, I was born in 1965 and the wild wild West was already on television. I watched it until I was four years old and then it went into reruns. It was always one of my favorite shows and Robert Conrad has always been one of my favorite actors. It’s a shame that Ross Martin passed away so early in life. But I loved both of their performances in episodes of Columbo.
Ross Martin was considered at that time the most intelligent actor , he had been an atty., for the DA in California before he decided to be an actor, also spoke 6 languages ( Like Kirk Douglas ), follow by Jack Lord of " Hawaii 5-0 " , who had a degree in civil engineering. I had the honor and pleasure of knowing " Uncle " Bob , as those close to him called Robert Conrad and his fans. He got me into the Hollywood stuntmen association in the late 70's straight out of the Marines , besides me , he helped many other aspiring actors and actresses , " Uncle " Bob , may you rest in peace.
Ross Martin's character Artemis Gordon has aged very well while Robert Conrad's James West seems very wooden now, Ross's acting ability is highlighted by the different characters he played while in disguise, which carried those episodes, he seemed really good playing a chef of any ethnicity, Ross Martin had a great guest starring role on an episode of Bonanza, his intellect and range always shines through his characters
Nice story, Jess. I remember the two TV movies, they were well done. Always loved Ross Martin’s acting. He passed way too soon.
4 года назад+2
I love the show, here in Brazil it was called : "James West". I still have VHS tapes from that time lol can you believe it ? The Wild Wild West ... amazing show.
One of my favorite shows. I have to admit Ross Martin as Artemis Gordon was my favorite character. All those disgues were great. However, it was the way he would invent new devices that got me hooked.
1965 was a Great tv season. Not only did The Wild Wild West premiere this year but also the following tv shows: Hogan's Heroes, Green Acres, I dream of Jeannie, Get Smart, Lost in Space and Atom Ant !!
Great video, I grew up in the '60s, "The Wild Wild West" was one of my favorite shows, and ya "Man From Uncle", "Mission Impossible", and "Get Smart" was too. I also loved Westerns, like "High Chaparral" and "F-Troop". I like your content and I am now a subscriber.
Growing up I loved this show. Cool gadgets, fantastic fight scenes, what’s not to love... Now a days I rarely watch TV. Too many changes and messaging I do not adhere to. Cheers to your hard work, I enjoyed the video. Stay Strong!!
@@FactsVerse I’ve been pondering that question and all I can say is the later episodes were better than the early ones. There. Is not a fav I can think of right now. Cheers brother, Make it a Great Day!
I never watched this show very often but I remember hearing about it. I think either my parents had watched it or my grandparents. I never really got into Westerns until I was in my 30’s. But I do appreciate all the different shows that you cover on your channel. Thank you! 👍
I can't begin to tell you ALL the things I loved about The Wild Wild West because it involves talented actors and actresses to even the movie which I thought was really good. RIP Robert Ross Richard Micheal and all the others. This fan misses you al!😎😎😎😎😎😎
During the early 80's, this show was second only to Star Trek in syndication. It was on every weekday afternoon at 6pm in my area. I watched it constantly instead of news. They could, and should make TV shows this good once again, but maybe nobody has the talent any longer.
As a baby boomer this was my favorite show. Always enjoyed the fight scenes, the beautiful women and Ross Martin’s disguises. With his fighting skill I would have liked to see Conrad in Enter The Dragon, no offense to John Saxon.
Yes that would have been great to see Bob Conrad in Enter the Dragon instead of John Saxon RIP to both of them but I hated what happened to Our late great Elder Jim Kelly in that movie though!
I loved the show and still do. Especially the Gothic spooky episodes. I loved it when he would have to fight some giant guy “Richard Kiel” or some robotic Superman. I always said that Robert Conrad was the coolest guy even when he got his butt kicked. Other than Bruce Lee he performed basic Karate flawlessly in the series. He was a true inspiration for getting into good physical shape.
Two additional facts, 1. Legend has it since William Shatner was also considered short, wikipedia lists him as 5ft. 10, they also only cast short actresses to pay against him on the show so we see a lot of the same actresses on both shows. 2. Only my opinion but I often thought that The Wild Wild West was the inspiration for Steam Punk, since many pf the "Mad Scientist" devices on the show often mixed 19th Century designs with modern techbology.
Born in 1953 this was one of my favorite westerns and enjoyed how they travelled by train to most venues. It was unique as is noted was they were agents working directly for President Grant during a time just after the Civil War. Actually having the name Loveless at times I would be asked if I was any relation to Dr. Loveless.
This show was a classic ... did Conrad have it written into his contract that he not only would do his own stunts, he would appear shirtless within the first 11 minutes of every episode? And be kissing a beautiful actress at some time during each episode as well. Well done, Robert. One of the all time great theme songs too.
I loved this show as a child in the 60's. Everyone boy I knew wanted to be James West. He beat up everybody and got all the women. We were just too immature to appreciate the talents of Artemus Gordon.
When I started just recently watching the show again then I was trying to remember how long it might have been since I had seen it. I'm enjoying watching it every week on Metv just like they are all new episodes.
Q. Name the two greatest "Loveless's" of all time. A. Patty Loveless, the country singer... and, of course, the greatest TV villian of all time, Dr Miguelito Quixote Loveless!
I've become a big fan of the WW. I was born in 79, so i missed the show in its original run. I ended up gettting the full series on DvD. The Dr. Loveless episodes are my favorite.
Gotta respect how the runners of the show were never willing to recast the actors when they had to take time away, and wouldn't continue the movies with one of the stars dead. You don't see that kind of loyalty to the actors today, in the remake/reboot/recast happy environment Hollywood is in.
Yes, It was a tremendous success after 4 years after 104 episodes aired and the two TV movies that were funny. I also love Mr. Conrad's stunts on The Wild Wild West that he performed on the set throughout 4 years on the show with fellow legendary TV stuntmen are stuntmen greats Mr. Whitey Hughes and Mr. Red West (was bodyguard and mutual friend of legendary singer Mr. Elvis Presley). Also, Legendary comic Richard Pryor did appear on The Wild Wild West in his first TV show appearance as Villar and also the great Sammy Davis Jr. who also guest star in another Wild Wild West TV Show episode from Year 2.
Love TWWW!! Thank you, this is very interesting! I used to watch this every Saturday afternoon when I was a kid! Now, as an adult, I can appreciate those tight blue pants!😂
You might want to include that they changed the opening credits - from tipping his hat and brushing off the showgirl that tries to stab him as he goes in for a kiss, in the first season, to knocking the girl down with a right cross in all subsequent seasons.
One of the best series that will ever grace the airwaves. It had it all.
So true.
I agree too the best series of it's time there were rumors about reboot the series but never heard anything from those rumors
The reboot movie was terrible
It was a great show
@@garycarpenter2980Beyond terrible, a total vomit-inducing waste of time, effort and film. I walked out of the theater.
Robert Conrad was a great person in real life also. I spoke with him twice, he treated me great, like he treated everyone. He did more different things in show business, then anyone else has. And he did them all with near perfection. What a great person he was.
I loved this show when i was a kid!!! It was great. Im so glad that they now have it in reruns. I still watch it! RIP to both actors!! They gave us a lot of entertainment!! Thnx for the facts!
Ross Martin's real name was Martin Rossenblat whose family moved to America from Poland when he was just a baby. Spoke seven languages; four of which he learned before the age of five. Graduated from law school and was a multitalented musician playing the violin, piano, drums, guitar and even the flute to which four of them you can see him playing in the series. AND he was a painter. Just needed to add a twelfth to your list. xoxo
Yes, and what steams some people up, myself included, Is Ross Martin never got a Star in Hollywood to honor him, even posthumously. With his talent, doesn’t he deserve one? ⭐️
@@Maggie22002 I whole heartedly agree!
No wonder he had a heart attack!
"EXPERIMENT IN TERROR" , "The Great Race", that tv series on the boat???(I've seen it, but can't remember right now)!! Ross Martin! FFS ! HE'S OVERDUE!!! I MEAN "COLOMBO "! FER GOD'S SAKE!!!😢😮😮
He also wrote poetry.
One of the best TV shows ever! I was knee-high to a married grasshopper and my older brother and I were enthralled! Also: Ross Martin, so fully talented, would sketch what he thought the character he'd pretend in make up should look like, give it to the make up chief/crew, and they made that the look for Gordon's "impersonation." Miguelito Loveless was one of the greatest villains ever! So ruthless and yet so cultured and he genuinely adored and respected children. (A very interesting and complex character.) An amazing program! I'm proud to have the complete series on DVD!
I loved watching TWWW as a kid and as an adult. I also loved , BLACK SHEEP.
Best show ever. Love Robert Conrad.
I can't imagine being a kid without this show. thank you for these interesting backstories.
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of videos would you like to see?
My favorite part was the Story Boarding when the show went to a commercial - don't know why, but I thought that was the neatest thing.
The fight sequences on this show in every episode,were spectacular.
As good as anything in the James Bond movies,at the time.
And what wimps those TV exec's were to cancel the show because of so-called "violence". It was all well choreographed fighting with no blood and very well done. Just stupid.
@@jtandme-ot9clConrad's other show Baa Baa Black Sheep was cancelled by the same group for the same reason.
Conrad played himself, essentially, as he played his public persona, in a 1969 Mannix episode, "The Playground."

If this is true it explains the uncanny moves Conrad made--even though they were stunts, there was something otherworldly about many of them--those strange ducks which seemed to sometimes catch even the stuntmen off guard.
The Will Smith movie version was this biggest joke to the franchise.
I can't blame Conrad for hating that movie,.....we all did.
To bad it went that way. This could have been another Star Wars, Batman, Iron Man...... franchise and with all the merchandising, maybe even theme park rides.

My family never missed an episode of this show. It was so well done.
As a child I always watched this show every week and truly enjoyed them. I always wondered why they were discontinued.
It was ridiculous that the network bowed to the public perception, that it was too violent...it's BEYOND CLEAR that its pretend violence.
THE WILD WILD WEST was also one of the earliest examples of steampunk genre. 😊😊😊
I think that would be "The Steam Man of the Prairies" by Edward S. Ellis, and Jules Verne's novels.
@@imkluu On TV, anyway
The term I've read is Cattle Punk: steampunk-type inventions in an American West setting.
I loved The Wild Wild West, Robert & Ross !!!! ❤️❤️. They were a perfect match & great partners. 👮👮 I own the series. There has never been a show like this before & never will be.
W
Those blue eyes are captivating.
Even though he was a Secret Service agent, Jim West is still the best cowboy of all time
This was one of my favorite shows.
Was and still is one of my favorite tv shows of all time. Thanks for the interesting information!
Conrad’s outfits on the show were perfect .
He hated them, as they were super tight.
Man from Uncle, Wild Wild West and the Monkees. Quite the TV lineup when I was 12 or 14.
Me too
Batman was fun.
I also loved Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys mysteries. Every Saturday afternoon!!
Loved the Wild Wild West! Still like to watch when I can find it on!
I have the complete DVD set.

Always nice to see Boris Karloff, again. That was one of the best and funniest episodes of the series, and Boris romped through it.
How could he not mention Boris Karloff...
Charles Prokopp Just like when he played a woman, Mother Muffin, on an episode of “ The Girl From UNCLE”.
Damn I didn't even know that Boris Karloff was that old on the series but he was brilliant though!
The best show ever! I''ve enjoyed it since it originally aired.

Really liked this program!
I am really surprised you left one major fact out and that was their train. It's the exact same one used in both Petticoat Junction and Green Acres.
Interesting. Never knew that.
It was also used for an episode of The Big Valley... & probably more.
For years that train was on display at The Hoyt Hotel in NW Portland...you can see The Hoyt Hotel in the credits on Petticoat Junction
Really????...facinating

This vintage tv spy show never grows old.
During the early 80's, this show was second only to Star Trek in syndication. It was on every weekday afternoon at 6pm in my area. I watched it constantly instead of news. They could, and should make TV shows this good once again, but maybe nobody has the talent any longer.

With his fighting skill I would have liked to see Conrad in Enter The Dragon, no offense to John Saxon.
Yes that would have been great to see Bob Conrad in Enter the Dragon instead of John Saxon RIP to both of them but I hated what happened to Our late great Elder Jim Kelly in that movie though!

Awesome show loved it and Dr loveless.

We're happy to know that you're a fan of The Wild, Wild West! Which episode is the most memorable for you?
@@FactsVerse I loved " The Night Of The Man Eating House." I also loved the theme song. Next to Mission Impossible's , the best of all time.
I love this show!!! It was a brilliant action and fun fantasy show!
While James West and Artemes were undoubtedly very cool as a counter for the most cool I offer John Steed and Mrs Peel.
Loved the Avengers, too!

Red West, who played Sgt. Micklin on Black sheep, was a stuntman for this show also.
He was also a close friend of Elvis Presley
A wonderfully fun show that remains a favorite even today.

Us too! What episode appealed to you the most?
The theme song was stuck in my head today, and I probably haven't heard it in 30 years. Weird how the brain works...
Same thing happened to us, Michael!
You didn't mention that he also played on Ba Ba Black sheep as pappy
Also not mentioned was the fact that Greg Boyington, the REAL "Pappy", heartily approved of his portrayal, and even appeared on the show. TWICE
he also played in high mountain rangers
LOL Robert Conrad was the hottest man on TV and I know I wasn't the only person who thought so! Great show.
Oh yes he was sooo fine💋🌹😍😍😍 may they both Rest Easy😭🌹🌹🌹🌹
This show was way before my time, but it’s one of my favorites.
My brother and I watched this every Saturday afternoon.
Reruns of course 😊😊
Loved this show in my teen years.
Great show. Imaginative and I loved the colour schemes - well, when I saw the re-runs in Oz.
Was a favorite show when I was a kid!!!!
I love this show. When, I was a kid....my buddy and would watch and later play that were Gordon and West. Great show and great times.

Gotta respect how the runners of the show were never willing to recast the actors when they had to take time away, and wouldn't continue the movies with one of the stars dead. You don't see that kind of loyalty to the actors today, in the remake/reboot/recast happy environment Hollywood is in.
Both guys were also great villains - separately - on Colombo.
Very informative!
Thanks for watching, Alonzo!
Yes, It was a tremendous success after 4 years after 104 episodes aired and the two TV movies that were funny. I also love Mr. Conrad's stunts on The Wild Wild West that he performed on the set throughout 4 years on the show with fellow legendary TV stuntmen are stuntmen greats Mr. Whitey Hughes and Mr. Red West (was bodyguard and mutual friend of legendary singer Mr. Elvis Presley). Also, Legendary comic Richard Pryor did appear on The Wild Wild West in his first TV show appearance as Villar and also the great Sammy Davis Jr. who also guest star in another Wild Wild West TV Show episode from Year 2.
This was one of my favorite shows growing up. I still watch it on fetv.
i watched a little bit today.
Love TWWW!! Thank you, this is very interesting! I used to watch this every Saturday afternoon when I was a kid! Now, as an adult, I can appreciate those tight blue pants!😂
RIP bobby he was such a great man always in my heart
Robert Conrad was a great actor
LOL...yeah, sure, if you like your actors wooden, now he was a great stuntman though, tough guy, but great actor?
He was Made in Chicago (Southwest Side).
You might want to include that they changed the opening credits - from tipping his hat and brushing off the showgirl that tries to stab him as he goes in for a kiss, in the first season, to knocking the girl down with a right cross in all subsequent seasons.
Actually the "knocking the girl down" was the original opening on the B&W pilot episode. See the unaired version on the first season DVD set.
@@erichwise9936 Sweet, did not know there was an unaired intro. Just watched it, thanks!
Was and still is a favorite of mine.
