As in all murder mystery tv shows, it’s always guest star whodunnit. I figured that our when I was a youngster.
And on the rare occasion when the star gets shot, it’s usually in the shoulder. The left shoulder. So he can continue to shoot with his right hand.
And should he ever end up in the hospital in a critical situation he will always make a miraculous recovery. And with no scars next time there’s need for a shirtless scene with a nearly naked co-star.
If I remember correctly, I think it was something like the 3rd person listed in the credits in TV Guide.
