He played in one of my favorite commercials. It was a commercial for every ready batteries. My favorite line from it is " I dare you to knock it off" RIP ROBERT
Had a WWW lunchbox as a kid. Jerseysky66, That commercial was filmed in South Haven Michigan on the stern of an old boat. It is now named The Idler and a restaurant / bar . It is permanently moored on the Black River in South Haven. The boats / vessels previous owner was Vincent Price years back. I lost a bet years back about the commercial being filmed aboard and had to dive off the top deck. Foolish then and foolish now. Unsure what the high water levels on the big lake did to the mooring site though. Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan.
Well you know the old saying death comes in threes, there's two! First was kirk Douglas now Robert Conrad who's the third gonna be??
I think that one of Conrad's best roles was as Pasquinelle (I probably murdered the spelling) in the TV mini-series CENTENNIAL. I also think that CENTENNIAL was one of the best TV mini-series ever.
That is a true bummer, just some guys you think will never die (subconsciously implanted in us with James West as the villain always explained for like an hour how they were going to kill them & then left the room while he always escaped lol). Really did like that guy though. R.I.P. Mr. Conrad
