Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Over two decades before his gig on "Quantum Leap", this actor portrayed a battle hungry lieutenant in a World War II episode, "A Quality of Mercy". His ruthless and aggressive methods caused him to see things from both the side of the Americans and the Japanese, as only the "Twilight Zone" can.
2. As Dr. Zachary Smith on "Lost in Space", this man gave TV fans a memorable performance as a whiny and prissy villain. However, in the "Twilight Zone" episode "The Silence", he played a much more subdued role as George Alfred, a man who gets caught up in the middle of a most dangerous bet.
3. I am sure many of us remember "The Beverly Hillbillies." The slapstick comedy about some simple folks who get rich and move to the big city had a talented cast. One member of that cast appeared in an episode entitled "The Prime Mover". Can you name him?
4. Before he played the role of David Banner on "The Incredible Hulk", this actor had a small role in a hour long episode of the "Twilight Zone" called "The Thirty-Fathom Grave". The episode told the story of the discovery of a sunken submarine by the US Navy. What they found was not your typical submarine.
5. This actor and funny man played a very mean and serious role on an episode of the "The Twilight Zone" called "The Lonely". He played opposite Jack Warden, who played a man sentenced to a life of solitude on an asteroid. He acquired an unhealthy attachment to a female android.
6. This man had a starring role alongside Tony Randall in the 1970s on a sitcom about two men who become roommates. One was a slob, the other a neat freak. He actually starred in four episodes of the "Twilight Zone", including "Death Ship", which also starred Ross Martin.
7. Long before he received an honorary Oscar in 2002, this actor, director and producer starred in a "Twilight Zone" episode called "Nothing in the Dark". The name of his character was Harold Beldon, a man who gently tried to convince an elderly woman to leave her condemned apartment. Of course, as in most "Twilight Zone" episodes, there was a surprise twist at the very end.
8. She was one of the many actors from "Bewitched" to star in the "Twilight Zone". She played a battle weary soldier opposite Charles Bronson (yes that Charles Bronson)in "Two". Her entire script consisted of only a couple of words. The two of them were enemies. But, in the "Twilight Zone", anything can happen.
9. It was no coincidence that many of the "Twilight Zone" episodes dealt with war since Rod Serling was a paratrooper in World War II. This "Star Trek" alum starred opposite Neville Brand in "The Encounter". For years, this episode was not in syndication due to its controversial subject of racial strife. Can you name this actor?
10. Perhaps best known for his role on "Lost in Space" as Will Robinson, this child actor made a very impressive three performances in "The Twilight Zone". In "It's A Good Life", he played Anthony Fremont, a boy with powers that any parent would dread their child having. Name him.
