SPOTS OF THE LEOPARD

TRIVIA
In the latter part of the episode, Tom Jenkins is talking to Chuck on the telephone. When you hear Chuck's voice on the phone, it isn't actor Lou Frizzell, it is actually series producer Lou Scheimer. Presumably, the director forgot to have Frizzell record his line during shooting and with filming over, Scheimer apparently decided to jump in and do the voice, as it probably didn't make good economic sense to call in Frizzell to record only one line of dialogue.

SPELLS USED
Flight: "Oh Zephyr Winds Which Blow on High, Lift Me Now, So I Can Fly."

GUEST ARTISTS
Lou Frizzell (Chuck Nelson) appeared in a lot of TV and movies in the '60s and '70s, including a recurring role on the cult hit Forever Fernwood (which was a continuation of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman). Of interest to genre fans, he appeared in the film "Capricorn One" and Rod Serling's The Night Gallery. Frizzell died in 1979.

Debralee Scott (Jenny) is probably the most famous guest in this episode. Though she's done her fair share of film and TV work, she is probably best remembered for her roles in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and Welcome Back, Kotter, and also for being a frequent game show panelist, on such series as Match Game and Password Plus. Scott moved behind the camera become an agent (with Empowered Associates), based on both coasts. In 2001, Scott's fiancee was killed in the New York terrorist attacks.

In 2005, Debralee moved to Florida to help care for her sister, but in late March, Scott mysteriously slipped into a three-day coma. After she awoke, doctors couldn't find a reason for the coma, so Scott returned home on her birthday to unpack her belonging that were shipped from New York. She died two days later, on 5 April, aged 52.

Paul Jenkins (Tom Jenkins) has done a variety of bit parts in films and also made several TV guest appearances, his more recent credits including Party of Five, The West Wing and Cold Case. Of particular interest to sci-fi fans, he appeared in episodes of the 1980s Twilight Zone and Tales from the Darkside.
