4 | Credited by Traffic drummer Jim Capaldi with coining the term "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys". |
5 | One of the few actors to have appeared on both classic Sci -Fi shows "Lost In Space" and "Star Trek". |
6 | An early career break occurred when Pollard was brought in as a replacement during the first season of TV's "Dobie Gillis." Co-star Bob Denver, who was stealing the show as Dobie's beatnik buddy Maynard G. Krebs, was going to be drafted into the Army and had to exit the series. When Denver was classified "4-F" due to a longstanding neck injury and returned, Pollard's character of weird cousin Jerome Krebs was quickly written out. |
