He almost didn't get the part because [Irwin Allen](/source/Irwin_Allen) didn't like the idea of having another regular character who was taller than the series' lead actor [Richard Basehart](/source/Richard_Basehart) (who was 5' 8"). During season two with heightening tension in [Vietnam](/source/Vietnam_War), Hunt realized that he would be drafted, so rather than take his chances with the draft, he enlisted in the Marine Corps. He trained as a [US Marine](/source/US_Marine) at [Marine Corps Air Station El Toro](/source/Marine_Corps_Air_Station_El_Toro), then was transferred to Special Services with the [US Army](/source/US_Army).[2] During his time in Vietnam, Allan was responsible for [USO](/source/USO) shows, wrote special material and hosted and directed live stage shows. Irwin Allen promised to keep the role of Riley for Hunt when he completed his military duties, but by the time he'd finished in Vietnam the show had ended, so he wasn't able to return. Over the years Hunt has worked as an [actor](/source/Actor) and [director](/source/Theatre_director), as a regular for two years on *[General Hospital](/source/General_Hospital)*, as a [news anchor](/source/News_anchor) for [CBS](/source/CBS) affiliate [KGGM](/source/KRQE) in [Albuquerque, New Mexico](/source/Albuquerque,_New_Mexico) in 1987[1] and in the late 1990s back on TV in shows such as *[Love Boat: The Next Wave](/source/Love_Boat:_The_Next_Wave)* and *[Charmed](/source/Charmed)*. ## Partial filmography - *[Dennis the Menace](/source/Dennis_the_Menace_(1959_TV_series))* (TV) (Dennis at Boot Camp) (1962) - *[Gunsmoke](/source/Gunsmoke)* (TV) (Lover Boy) (1963) - Boy - [My Three Sons](/source/My_Three_Sons) (TV) (Almost the Sound of Music) (1963) - Dennis - *[Dr. Kildare](/source/Dr._Kildare_(TV_series))* (TV) (The Child Between) (1964) - Rusty - *[Karen](/source/Karen_(1964_TV_series))* (TV) (No Boys Allowed) (1964) - Roger - *[Perry Mason](/source/Perry_Mason_(1957_TV_series))* (TV) (two episodes) (1963–1964) - *[The Munsters](/source/The_Munsters)* (TV) (Bats of a Feather) (1965) - Second G.I. - *[The Donna Reed Show](/source/The_Donna_Reed_Show)* (TV) (three episodes) (1962–1965) - *[Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea](/source/Voyage_to_the_Bottom_of_the_Sea_(TV_series))* (TV) (second season regular character) (1965–1966) - Stuart Riley - *[Ironside](/source/Ironside_(1967_TV_series))* (TV) (Trip to Hashbury) (1968) - Gary - *[Freaky Friday](/source/Freaky_Friday_(1976_film))* (1976) - Car Cop (uncredited) - *[Miss Jones](/source/Miss_Jones_(radio_personality))* (TV) (1991) - Second Attorney - *[Love Boat: The Next Wave](/source/Love_Boat:_The_Next_Wave)* (TV) (Captains Courageous) (1998) - Piano Player - *[Charmed](/source/Charmed)* (TV) (Feats of Clay) (1999) - Auctioneer ## Stage Work **Actor** - [Pleasure of His Company](/source/Pleasure_of_His_Company) (with [Lana Turner](/source/Lana_Turner) and [Louis Jourdan](/source/Louis_Jourdan)) - [Your Own Thing](/source/Your_Own_Thing) - [Our Town](/source/Our_Town) (with [Henry Fonda](/source/Henry_Fonda)) - [Richard II](/source/Richard_II_(play)) (with [Richard Chamberlain](/source/Richard_Chamberlain)) - [Forty Carats](/source/Forty_Carats) (with [June Lockhart](/source/June_Lockhart)) - [Everybody's Girl](/source/Everybody's_Girl) (with [Rose Marie](/source/Rose_Marie)) **Director** - [The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial](/source/The_Caine_Mutiny_Court-Martial_(play)) - [Hello, Dolly!](/source/Hello,_Dolly!_(musical)) - [That Championship Season](/source/That_Championship_Season) - [The Boys in Autumn](/source/The_Boys_in_Autumn) (with [Walter Koenig](/source/Walter_Koenig) and [Mark Lenard](/source/Mark_Lenard)) - [The Student Prince](/source/The_Student_Prince) - [Pirates of Penzance](/source/Pirates_of_Penzance) - [A Christmas Carol](/source/A_Christmas_Carol) (Robert Hayes, Walter Koenig and Edd Hall) ## Awards - Three [Drama-Logue Awards](/source/Drama-Logue_Award): The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial (1981) Hello Dolly (1983) That Championship Season (1988) ## References 1.
