MISSILES OF OCTOBER: SENATOR WILLIAM FULBRIGHT

SENATOR WILLIAM FULBRIGHT

AS SEEN IN:
"The Missiles Of October"

AS PLAYED BY:
Byron Morrow

From Wikipedia:
James William Fulbright (April 9, 1905 – February 9, 1995) was a United States Senator representing Arkansas from 1945 to 1975.


Fulbright was a Southern Democrat and a staunch multilateralist, supported the creation of the United Nations, signed the Southern Manifesto and opposed the House Un-American Activities Committee. He is remembered for his segregationism, opposition to US involvement in the war in Vietnam, and efforts to establish an international exchange program, which thereafter bore his name, the Fulbright Fellowships. Fulbright was the longest serving chairman in the history of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. President Bill Clinton cited him as a mentor.

Twice in three weeks, we've had an historical character played by Byron Morrow.....


Since this is "Two For Tuesday", we have another portrayal of Senator Fulbright:

SENATOR WILLIAM FULBRIGHT

Unfortunately, I don't remember from which TV production I got this picture, nor do I remember who the actor is who played him. It might be George R. Robertson, better known for the "Police Academy" movies, but it's hard for me to tell.....

Any help on his identity would be appreciated.

BCnU!
