Not too coincidental. Robert Hogan was a friend of co-creator Bernie
Fein's and the part was named after him. Fein suggested he also play the
part but CBS wanted a bigger name. Not suprisingly, Hogan showed up as a
guest star in episodes. (I believe he only played Braden once. In another
episode he appeared as a Commando Tobin).
