Who is Henchman Neal (or Neil)?


The actor as Henchman Neal/Neil/Neale [whichever] has a role big enough [Chs. 7-15] to be listed in the on-screen credits and yet he is not even listed in the uncredited group. He is also the unnamed handsome henchman [Chs. 1 & 7] in 'Captain Video, Master of the Stratosphere' (1951). Anybody know who he is??

Henchman Neal ( the way it is spelled in the original Columbia production cast list) was played by Lee Roberts. The current cast, as shown, is missing many players, including Lane Bradford. No, I don't mean Marshall Bradford. He is also in this serial. And Columbia had Harold Landon cast under and working under the name of Hal Landon in this serial.

He's no Gabe. I can tell you that much.

I am surprised and pleased this board is so recently active. I just watched all the episodes via Netflix. I know they were geared for about a 10 year old audience, but I still enjoyed watching them. A great source of what clothing, hair styles, and even furniture were like in the late 1940's. And those outdoor scenes ... I wonder what they look like today? I hope they haven't been built up or over.

The actors, both heroes an villains, were interesting to observe. The ubiquitous Lyle Talbot as Commissioner Gordon, I remember him from so many shows from the 1950's and 1960's. Ozzie and Harriet, etc.

Robert Lowery as Bruce looked SO familiar that, as I continued watching the episodes, it dawned on me! Circus Boy!! Big Tim Champion!!! Loved that show as a child.

William Fawcett as Hammill. He was in the early Peter Graves series Fury as "Old Pete"

John Doucette as an uncredited henchman, from so many other shows. The last thing I remember seeing him in was Patton (1970) as one of the American generals.

Jane Adams as Vicki Vale was a bit of a stretch. She looked familiar, but I had to look her up here on IMDB. She was the hunchbacked nurse in House of Dracula.
