Classic TV: The 60s : Roy Thinnes

Roy Thinnes

Is this great but underrated actor still alive and, if so, what is he up to these days !?

Re: Roy Thinnes

Hey Robert,

I remember journeyman actor Thinnes quite well from when I first saw him in 1958 on Peter Gunn. If you Google Thinnes, you will see he was born in 1938 and is about 78 years of age today. He was a very good looking guy who many folks compared his look to Paul Newman with the lean build and blue eyes. While Thinnes never made it to Newman's superstar level, he did become a featured actor on many television shows with a fifty year career that spanned from 1957 to 2007.

Best wishes,
Dave Wile


Re: Roy Thinnes

I'm glad he's still alive. Thanks man!:). Another great actor who is still alive n kickin' is David Hedison of The Fly and Voyage to the Botton of the Sea fame. I saw his 2012 interview and he revealed some cool things about his life.
