The JPG is named Gary Seven and of course that is wrong. That was Robert Lansing. Warren Stevens was in Forbidden Planet blowing up his brain on the alien brain tool. This caricature was based on a season one episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Funny you should mention Gary Seven... I got a couple of graphic novels for Christmas written and drawn by John Byrne, of one which features Gary Seven stories. The were good enough to wish that Assignment: Earth had actually become a TV series.
There's also a couple of ST novels focused on the life of Khan that feature Seven in a big way. I've had Seven on my mind as of late, I guess.
Nice drawing of Stevens. It's interesting thinking back on all of those TV character actors. Even now they are all so familiar.
The old TV shows had such great lighting. I was at an art show talking to a guy Jeff probably knows that works over at SONY films about how great the lighting was on the old Perry Mason's. This netflix instaview plus old black and white TV with classic faces. great material.
I had a prof. in college who got her hands on a collection of street vender license photos from NY or somewhere from the 20s. What an incredible resource for creating characters! I wish she had published them into a book or something!
Very interesting sketch. The big circle and the circles around his eye are a little distracting though.
The big circle is the start of my thinking about how big the skull would be. But i'm always wrong when i start. This is an all pen sketch so what might have been a little lighter bit of construction line is as dark as an other line.
Warren Stevens was in the Star Trek episode where they shrunk crew members down into those little dehydrated cubes and then crushed them to powder. He was the Kelvan leader Rojan. The episode was "By Any Other Name"
Yes Tom. Perhaps the ultimate example of Red Shirt mortality in Star Trek. And it was the Girl!
