Morning Man Classic: Ben Murphy!

Discovered a 70s hunk who I as not very familiar with.

He’s Ben Murphy and he’s best known for the TV western Alias Smith and Jones which I don’t think I ever saw a single episode of and if it was syndicated I missed it then too!

Ben got his TV start on the series Name of the Game then went on to star on Alias from 1971-73. Later series included McLain’s Law with James Arness, Lottery! and Berrenger’s.

He also starred in his own series Gemini Man, in which he played a secret agent who could become invisible for 15 minutes a day through the use of a special wristwatch. It lasted less than a single season.

Now 76, the still handsome actor’s last on-screen credit came in 2010. By that time he had mostly been doing guest spots on such shows as Judging Amy, Cold Case and The District.
