While shooting "The Night Of The Avaricious Actuary," Bob was his usual playful self. It was the story of a man who possessed a giant tuning fork capable of destroying small towns. Part of the fun of this show was the friendship that showed between our director lrving Moore and Bob who was forever putting-him-on. Bob might be faced with the simplest of tasks but, in a pretentious spoiled brat act, he would pout and tell Charlie Scott he didn't feel "motivated" for the scene. Charlie would calmly remind him of his motivation with a brief, "Think of the money, Bob." Bob would leap immediately to the task at hand.

We were about to do a scene in a shooting gallery using Bob as our target when Irv called "Action". The camera was on the riflemen. Irv was watching us closely and directing us with, "Watching Bob... watching Bob... raise your rifles...." We were watching Bob, our target, when he suddenly dropped his pants. Naturally we burst out laughing and blew the scene. Bob's innocent look when Irv turned to look at him and see what he had done to make us laugh was enough to calm him down.

As we were about to shoot Agent West, Ross Martin entered the gallery disguised as a nearsighted old gas meter inspector who happened to stop by at the wrong time. As he does his usual double-talking to confuse the bad guys, he offers to shoot the target he supposedly can't see. Taking the rifle, he begins to wave it about carelessly and as the bad guys take cover, West cuts his bonds and rushes to help Artie who tosses the rifle aside and runs to switch off the destructive tuning fork that has been activated.

Irv was now pressed for time and wanted to hurry to get the shot. Ross asked for a rehearsal and Irv decided to shoot the rehearsal. If the rehearsal is good, there is no need for a retake. The cameras rolled and the action started. Ross fired wildly and, as West enters the scene, tosses the rifle aside to run and switch off the tuning fork. Somehow, the rifle hit the wall and bounced back into Ross' path. Ross tripped over the rifle and received a painful hairline fracture on his shinbone.

As he lay beneath a table moaning from the pain and trying to explain to Irv what had happened, he had enough thespian blood flowing through his veins to ask lrv if he wanted to shoot his close-up while they were waiting for the ambulance. As they were carrying Ross off the set, Ken Chase was running along side and removing Ross' wig, goatee, latex nose and facial disguise so he could quickly apply it to Bobby Herron, who finished the scene for Ross.
