2nd Best Mustache on TV

#1 Post by T.Q. »

Was trimming my goatee and working the stache part and was thinking...

Who had the 2nd best mustache on TV? :wink:

Stacy Keach of "Mickey Spillanes Mike Hammer" fame. Back when that series and Magum were on CBS together, that question would come up as filler in TV columns, or on talk shows.
Keach grew his to hide a hare lip. I give them a tie.
In Waking Ned Divine, the 1998 Irish comedy gem wherein an entire village schemes to divide up a lottery ticket that a fellow villager without family won, but who then died.
The charming lead actress I have always found beguiling but with the improved high def screens nowadays, I could not help (after seeing it for the first time in many years)
but notice said actress has a significant stash. It's beyond distracting, you watch a scene with her and it's like, wow, Selleck's little sister is trying to raise a stash too.
I feel bad pointing it out but you'd think the film's owners could have applied a little movie magic and digitally removed it.

Kelsey Grammer shared how, despite their disagreements, Cheers co-star Ted Danson offered him words of advice that he still quotes to this day.
"When I turned 40, Ted came up and said, 'You know what it means, don't you? Now that you're 40, it means you're finally worth having a conversation with.' "

Lee Horsley of MATT HOUSTON fame immediately comes to mind after Selleck when it comes to iconic staches on TV. That stache on Mike Farrell from M*A*S*H is anything but iconic. :lol: Or iconic for all the wrong reasons.

Although overall (not just TV) when it comes to staches the 2 names that always come are Burt Reynolds and Selleck.

+1 for Matt Houston's honorable mention there. Lee is tach free in the 1981 series 'Nero Wolfe' and you wouldn't think he was the same actor.

However I do feel the following m[o]ustache is sadly forgotten about, Frank Converse as Will in 'Movin On':

There's also David Soul's season 4 effort in 'Starsky & Hutch'

I don't know much about Frank Converse but his looks like a poor man's stache. I guess it all comes down to how thick the stache is and the person wearing it. I feel like you need the proper jaw for it. Someone like Chuck Norris didn't look good with just the stache but once he grew the beard to go with the stache it was perfect! The beard is what really gives Chuck his superpowers!! :)

I only put Mike Farrell on as example ‘cause I was watch8ng when I thought of 80s TV mustaches.

Forgot about Matt Houston. His was pretty good.
