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.

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
