My guess is that I have seen quite a bit of his work...he was in everything on TV!<br /><br />Note that he was in Maverick (1994). When I met Will Hutchins (of "Sugarfoot" fame) he told me that James Garner put the word out that every old TV western actor was welcome in the riverboat gambling scene in that movie. It was Gordon's last film.Bit Part Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190704883240544188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146092214213444763.post-55709111031496787932012-03-08T21:42:44.136-05:002012-03-08T21:42:44.136-05:00I recently watched "The Intruder", AKA &...I recently watched "The Intruder", AKA "Shame", and found it somewhat interesting, though (fortunately) very dated. Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEViuhhVwEI<br /><br />Leo V. Gordon is really the highlight of the film. I'd seen him in other movies, but he really shines (at least compared to the rest of the cast) in "The Intruder".

Shatner's choice of roles has not done anything to foster a serious career, and knowing how the early days of Star Trek went, he was probably just the best choice to walk through the door, and nobody was walking in. <br /><br />And those Priceline commercials...Bit Part Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190704883240544188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146092214213444763.post-77460448765150846942012-02-13T16:44:42.354-05:002012-02-13T16:44:42.354-05:00Shatner will always be a Bit Part Actor.Shatner will always be a Bit Part Actor.Kimberly J.M.
