This was a little tougher Michael.
The actor's name was Yoshio Yoda and he appeared in 3 episodes. He portrayed a seaman of the Imperial Japanese Navy, A.W.O.L. In 2 episodes his name was Takeo 'Fugi' Fujiwara, and in the other he was Fuji Kobiaji. I couldn't find anything about his bio.
yup..jim hutton....i only saw a few ellery gueens...but i read a lot of the stories...they were great! after i finished off all the sherlock holmes stuff i moved on to ellery queen....great reads!
The old Ellery Queen from the 70's were repeated on A&E maybe 10-15 years ago. It must of been against a popular show; Don't think it lasted more than a season. I don't think Jim Hutton lived more than a few years after the demise of the show--still a young man as I recall.
