“Who else made poor showbiz career decisions to become victims of the “McLean Stevenson Effect.”?”
Michael Parks — “Then Came Bronson” was a critical and popular hit, and he decided to leave after a couple of seasons because he believed he would forever be “trapped in that persona” for the rest of his career.
So he left and we never saw much of him again….
‘Then Came Bronson’ was great! Well produced and directed TV but it only lasted one season iirc, 1969-1970. Around 26/27(??) or so episodes were done and I have the full collection on DVD. (Now I’m gonna have to go find ‘em and watch a few, haven’t seen any of them for a while!)
