The first of over 50 appearances by David Hedison as the character Arthur Hendricks on The Young and the Restless (1973), all in the year 2004. He had 25 years earlier been a castmate of Eric Braeden in the made-for-TV film The Power Within (1979). Another shared experience of the two actors is they had both encountered lycanthropy in past series roles. Hedison as Captain Lee Crane in his old series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964) in the episode titled Werewolf (1966) had the temporary problem of his friend Admiral Nelson (Richard Basehart} transforming into a werewolf. And Braeden in his role as Bernhardt Stieglitz, one of the weekly guest monsters of Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974) in the similarly titled episode The Werewolf (1974), was cursed with the more permanent form of the condition.
