Watching an old episode of Gomer Pyle. Episode 3 x 19, "you
bet your won ton". Early in the episode, one of the fellows
is William Christopher, aka Mulcahy. I didn't make the
connection till he spoke.

So Mulcahy was a marine before he became a priest, who would have guessed.

I would never have guessed.

I know Hogan / Bob Crane was Army in a different decade.
But, what would he have done on the Gomer Pyle set?

I saw him in an old Don Knotts movie. I think it was 'The Shakiest
