That's Telly Savalas' brother, George (who used his middle name, Demosthenes, for his TV roles), moonlighting as the brilliant Greek scholar/cabbie. His weight-loss regimen appears to originate here. Made a reference to Tony doing Yoga in "The Knightly Murders," however One thing I'm curious about is where this episode fell in production I can only imagine how bad this would have looked if the only old timer central casting could come up with on that day had been black. JS: It's a reasonable trick at some point during an age-transformation scene to replace your young actor with an older actor, but if you're going to do that, you should at least try and find actors who look remotely alike. PE: Watching Lance's last few minutes as he staggers through the park, I sure called that Bobby Riggs resemblance on the nose, didn't I? JS: Perhaps Crosby had it in her contract that she could never look worse than could be hidden by a pair of sunglasses when she wasn't needed on set. Now, if the make-up man had rigged up some grey in that beautiful blonde hair, some wrinkles on those perfect hands, and some of those down-to-the-knees breasts I've seen in the clubs I frequent, I'd have found it a little easier to believe that this Helen was a few thousand years old.

No respect for old folks in this episode, that's for sure (with our apologies to Miss Emily).

Dissolves were not the best way to go to establish the instant aging. JS: Unfortunately things get off to a bad start with the jogger. PE: One wonders: if Carl had stayed on the Swingin' Singles Scene story like Tony Vincenzo had ordered him to do, would he have worked his way around to uncovering Helen of Troy anyway?
