I was never a Wild Wild West fan. Watched some Black Sheep back in the day though... And I always got a kick out of his battery commercials where he would “dare” the audience to knock the battery off his shoulder. For some reason or another, I always thought of Conrad as the “poor man’s” William Shatner. Like, basically the same in looks, talent, etc, but the Star Trek phenomenon set them apart.

RIP.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

I would watch both shows back then.

Same birthday as my mother.

In lieu of flowers, Conrad’s family is requesting donations to the Wounded Warrior Project and The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation
