All though the appearance was brief, he played a cop who was guarding Norman Bates after he was arrested.

OMG, that's a fantastic bit of trivia!

I'll have to trot that out in conversation sometime!

I am always surprised the more I dig into the late Ted Knight's career.

"Windy Knight," a person who introduced western movies on the air for Channel 10 in the years 1955-1957. I'm still very much looking for footage or pictures of him at the station, and I have one good hope left. While anything from his Windy Knight days will be almost impossible to find, Knight worked the CP Center telethons in Albany with Gavin MacLeod in the early 70s, and there is a possiblity some of this footage exists somewhere. I am told that since the telethon was on the air at 11:00 at night, Knight would do the local news Ted Baxter style and that it was hilarious to watch!

Wow, that's pretty cool! Never seen the movie, but I would watch it just to see him!

Don't really like horror movies though.

Ted was also on an episode of 'The Donna Reed Show'.

I wasn't that surprised, but then again I've seen Psycho like 50 times. Lol, I actually remembered him from Psycho when I first saw TMTMS.

I didn't know that he was in so many other things though.
