1980s Actors that you'd have guest star in Magnum, PI...

Sam Elliott! They were great together in The Sacketts and The Shadow Riders! A long lost relative; A crook or spy, stealing Magnum's identity? Another PI? Who knows!

Oh yes, Sam Elliott would have been a great as a recurring character........

[Styles Bitchley]

Gene Wilder, Stacy Keach, Rae Dawn Chong, Shannon Tweed...

The chick from Bow Wow Wow...Annabella Lwin. I thought she was hot when I was a younger.

Ricky Schroder would've been great as the nephew of Robin Masters in "Summer School."
Jack Klugman would've been great for the show.
Jennifer Salt and Ted Wass from SOAP would've been a nice touch to include during "Of Sound Mind."
Nicole Eggert in "Dream A Little Dream" in the part of "Leah."

Pee Wee Herman

[Luther's nephew Dobie]

Benny Hill as yet another Higgins half brother. John Cleese as the owner of the hotel Fawlty Towers, who hires Magnum to be the house dick when the hotel hosts a convention of the A.A.P.I.
William Shatner as captain of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise who seeks Magnum's help when his exec officer Spock's brain is mysteriously stolen in the episode titled "Brain, brain? What am brain?"
And finally Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd as Ghost Busters hired to rid the estate of Mac's ghost.

If only Carl Kolchak could have followed a strange lead to Hawai'i . . . that would have made for a cool two hour movie. Especially with TM's dalliances with supernatural themes.

Hi Conch,
Great idea, and can you imagine Kolchak inter-acting with Higgins?
Kolchak was such a good news hound he would have found out Higgins was Robin Masters ghost writer.
How nice to see another Night Stalker fan here. I havent seen it on any stations since SyFy ran it at least 5 years ago. McGavin was always good, even in the cheesier episodes. 1960's starlet and snappy number Kathie Brown, his real life wife, appeared in one episode.
She was best known for a multi episode story arc on Bonanza, which was very unusual at the time.
Her character was supposed to marry oldest son Adam(Pernell Roberts) but Roberts had originally
demanded the part be played by a black woman.
NBC's southern stations had a fit at the idea, Roberts then held out for a Indian to be cast in the role, NBC finally insisting on the Nordic beauty Kathie Brown, which for Roberts was the final straw so he left at the end of the 1965 season. Okay I have digressed, but I find this story of interest as American television would have been altered forever if the number one series had a inter racial married couple.

I would like to throw onto this thread the name Dirk Benedict - the guy that played Starbuck on the original Battlestar and played Face (I want to remember) on the A-Team. Benedict had connections with Larson and Bellisario from Battlestar days, and I think Benedict would've been great as that one friend of Magnum's who Magnum could never, never, never refuse, a friend who kinda pulled Magnum's strings like Magnum pulled good old Mack's strings. I like to imagine the trouble a character played by Benedict may have gotten Magnum into.

Oh, and I LOVE KOLCHAK!
