Hi!
As you may know, I am always fascinated with the guest stars that helped make I SPY so spectacular ... some were very well known actors like Boris Karloff and Maurice Evans and Ricardo Montalban
and actresses like Dorothy Lamour and Delores Del Rio and Cicely Tyson.
And then ... there were the other actors who were far less known and denoted by names like "Tall Man, Thin Man, Boy Chick, and Phantom #2."
O.K. then, does the name
Andreas Teuber ring any bells?? Well it certainly didn't for me - but I ran across his name when doing a search of I SPY actors.
Here's a hint - check out the guy in the orange shirt ....
Mr. Teuber ( ... make that DR. Teuber) is Nikos in Red Sash of Courage!
Stephanie did REALLY well!! Scotty's & Kelly's match-making skills should definitely be commended.
Here's a
little more on "Nikos" (a.k.a. Andreas Teuber) - catching up with him after he and Stephanie left their little Greek Village with it's wonderful wine festivals.
He received his B.A. degree from Harvard (Phi Beta Kappa), went on to Oxford, and then returned to Harvard to get his Ph.D. - and at present, he is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Brandeis University and Chairman of their Philosophy Department. (Guess being a philosopher may have helped him get along with Stephanie's father.)
Here's just part of his bio ....
"
Andreas Teuber received, among other honors and awards a Fulbright Fellowship and a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship, and he has been a Member and Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He is also the recipient of a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and a Harvard Graduate Prize Fellowship. He has received two Brandeis teaching awards: The Michael Laban Walzer Award for Excellence in Teaching and The Kermit H. Perlmutter Fellowship Award for Teaching Excellence.
He is the Founder and Artistic Director of the Cambridge Theatre Company which produced its shows at the Hasty Pudding Theatre in Harvard Square from 1992 -1998 and which gained the reputation as Boston's leading off-Broadway theatre.
After he graduated from college, he starred opposite Richard Burton in the Columbia Pictures Film: DOCTOR FAUSTUS, as Mephistopheles, with Burton as Faust and Elizabeth Taylor as Helen of Troy and spent a year in Hollywood appearing as a guest on a number of television series, among them I SPY with Bill Cosby and Robert Culp and THE BIG VALLEY with Barbara Stanwyck. As director of the Cambridge Theatre Company he has directed on stage, among others, Debra Winger, Blythe Danner, Julie Harris, Christopher Reeve, Bill Murray, Sam Waterston, Jerry Stiller, Wally Shawn, Stockard Channing, John Heard, and Claire Bloom. He was also the Founder of the new Poets' Theatre and its Artistic Director from 1987 - 1995."

Good catch, Stephanie - O.K., O.K. so he has a devilish side, too (no one's perfect) !!

Ummm - sort of makes you stop and think about all the "little people" populating all those I SPY episodes, huh?? (Of course, "Tatia" has always been concerned with the "little people of the world" - she told that to Kelly while they were visiting Toshogu Shrine.
)
It was in response to what Kelly said about what "a lot of brilliant men in this world believe"
.... any takers on what he said??
Hey, NOW I'm starting to wonder who "Boy Chick" was .... ???
As always,
Tatia
