Both Bill Bixby and Robert Vaughn would become television icons, starring in their own series (Bixby more than one), while show star Gary Lockwood would peak on the big screen in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
While the first episode of the series, the fifth episode, A Very Private Affair, is really the first episode as far as Lt. Bill Rice's story is concerned.
Ultimately, both Gary Lockwood and Bill Bixby would co-star in a couple of movies starring Elvis Presley.
Bill Bixby would play an extremely similar character years later on Rich Man Poor Man: a flaky, undependable serviceman always cutting corners.
John Doucette and John Milford bare a striking resemblance, as a sergeant and corporal here. Later, Milford's character would be promoted to sergeant and appeared in seven more episodes.
