In honor of Efrem Zimbalist Jr., who died yesterday -- May 2, 2014 -- at age 95, I'm posting here the opening title sequence from the first episode of "The F.B.I.," the 1965-1974 ABC-TV series in which he starred as Inspector Lewis Erskine. This was the second role that really brought Zimbalist's name to public attention; he'd previously headlined the private-eye series "77 Sunset Strip," in both its incarnations (see [ Ссылка ] and [ Ссылка ]). I also remember the actor for his recurring appearances as Dandy Jim Buckley on "Maverick," as Daniel Chalmers on "Remington Steele," and as Sergeant Harry Hansen in the 1975 teleflick "Who Is the Black Dahlia?" Good-bye, sir. We'll miss you.
