Re: Film containing the most actors who appeared in a Columbo episode?

Think I got you beat!:relaxed:

While thinking about the new discussion of most famous Columbo co-stars, happened to look WAY too long at the cast of "Return to the Planet of the Apes".

Roddy McDowell
Kim Hunter
Bradford Dillman
Sal Mineo
William Windom
Ricardo Montelban
John Randolph
Joseph La Cava
James Sikking (Publish or Perish)
Hank Robinson (Exercise in Fatality)
Army Archerd (Forgotten Lady)

Granted some minor roles, but gonna be hard to beat I think.

Re: Film containing the most actors who appeared in a Columbo episode?

Wow, that's quite impressive.

A while back. I asked a related question, but limited it to TV shows.

The most I came up with was 5, and I found several examples. I was a bit surprised that one of them was the Bob Newhart show, but their were four "regulars" on that show that appeared in Columbo, so maybe not so surprising.

Re: Film containing the most actors who appeared in a Columbo episode?

If anthology shows count, there's a huge number on THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK HOUR and THE TWILIGHT ZONE (including Peter himself), and a decent number on THE OUTER LIMITS. I'm not so sure about others.

Re: Film containing the most actors who appeared in a Columbo episode?

Someone else came up with this one before, but COMPULSION has Bradford Dillman, Dean Stockwell, Richard Anderson, Martin Milner and Robert F. Simon.

Could Compulsion be the film that Stars the most Columbo victims?
Dillman, Stockwell, Milner and Anderson
