I'm pretty sure I know. If I'm wrong, I may have to shoot myself in the foot.

Hmmm ... Maybe I'm wrong. I don't see Ingrid Stevens on the list and she was in at least two episodes (so was Redford).

After I found out it prompted me to do some looking around. On hulu plus we can get the series. I am really looking forward to seeing thee stars when no one knew them. Thank-you redwitch for playing along.
I'll give you a hint. Back in the day there were stars and Hollywood was looking for stars. This group of hotshots were from nyc using a completely different kind of acting.

Robert Redford and William Shatner. Easy one.

Bravo Taltaraac
The talent in this list is amazing. I'm anxious to see them in the beginning of their careers.

The show was The Naked City.
"Naked City is a police drama series which aired from 1958 to 1963 on the ABC television network."
Since it was shot in NYC the actor draw came from Broadway. These actors developed their character. This was a major change from how the big stars at the time approached acting.

Well I got that one wrong. I had thought it was The Twilight Zone. The Twilight Zone (TV Series )1959

Tal, my first thought was The Twilight Zone, too, but since Ingrid wasn't on the list, I eliminated it. Did get it from Tom's clue, though. Amazing that both of these series used so many of the same actors.

I was betting on Twilight Zone, too. It's a shame they don't run Naked City on the cable channels as they do the "Zone".
After all, there are eight million stories...

Too many dramas on television already? TZ keeps coming back cause of sci fi aspect? We nerds can never get enough!

I think I might take a Hulu Plus trial and binge on Naked City. Who knows, I might end up being a customer if they have a lot series I never had the time to watch before. Christopher Walken is a kid should be interesting. Who says, you can never go back?
