The famous Doc Elliot (Benjamin R. Elliot) was a character who went from a big life to serve a rural community in Colorado. As time went by, his job saw him become very much tired and fed up with going out daily. So, as time passed in his life, he started doing house calls and meeting his patients to protect the services he knew best.
However, the famous doctor Elliot didn’t get a chance to see how much he could offer the local community as the show lasted for only 14 episodes. After the show ended, James Franciscus went on to further his career in the Italian acting industry. He did well for himself until 1991, when he died from emphysema.

If you know anything about Marlon Brando, then you can clearly make a connection between him and Ben Murphy. This made way for him being the perfect fit to play the secret agent bad boy Sam Casey. Each time Casey comes in contact with intense radiation, he would become invisible. The film was written based on the book, The Invisible Man, done by H.G. Wells. Interestingly, it was the third time the book was being produced into a film
11 episodes were made, but only five managed to make it on air as viewers were already tired by the time it reached midway. They noted the plot was flat, repetitive, and there was nothing to excite them. However, even though it didn’t do too well in the United States, it worked a little better in the United Kingdom – all 11 episodes were released but not strong enough to create a second season.
