George Hamilton as Evel.:wtf
Must be a comedy.

IDK about Evel, but he made a pretty good Zorro:thumbup

He also played Hank Williams...

Well that at least makes more sense. Even the Zoro role.
But him as Evel seems like bizarre casting. I mean, why stop there? Was Robert Reed busy?

Knievel was never that brown...

A child hood hero. An Icon.

Long live Evel. :hail

The producers needed someone who could surpass Knievel in vanity and arrogance which makes Hamilton the obvious choice.

I, too, was a big EK fan as a kid. As an adult, no so much.

I do remember a little of the controversy with that "Medical Center" episode.

It was almost as difficult to deal with as the death of Henry Blake....

No more bizarre casting then Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher...
