Kenneth Tobey! You have no idea how happy I was to see his name when doing the research this morning. Tobey was a very prolific actor, a manly man who played manly roles, lots of cowboys and cops and military men. He was in a bunch of 1950s monster movies, but it looks like he told his agent "no mas!" But then in the 1980s, I'm guessing a lot of casting people remembered his earlier work and suddenly he was back doing genre movies and TV. While I am completely aware of how low the budgets were for most of the 1950s sci-fi, I am still very nostalgic about it, and I assume are a lot of baby boomers.
Many happy returns of the day to all the living, and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.

Prediction: A group of protesters called "the Irreconcilables" refused to enter fallout shelters during the First Great Alert of 1973, and enjoyed life above ground while the war scare passed. During the Second Great Alert of 1977, the rest of the population refused to go below, but the Irreconcilables did so and led a life of luxury underground while the world above was devastated.
Reality: Don't you love irony? Even if you answered yes, I'm guessing you didn't love it as much as Becker does.
