Someone at IMDb has had too much to drink - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

They claim that Russell Johnson and Ed Platt from Get Smart are brothers. This is one celebrity relationship I've never heard of until today and I have very serious doubts that it's true.

If it's true, and I seriously doubt it, I would never have picked it. Unless it's via marriage or something.

I have never heard that rumor and there is no mention of it in his book

edplattfan · 11-17-2012, 11:27 PM

yes ,I have NO idea why this rumor started. However, Ed and Russell are NOT related. I run the Ed Platt Tribute site which has been authorized by his children.

while we are talking about ridiculous rumors, I'd like to put forth a new one; that Bob Denver and Alan Hale, Jr. were secretly identical twin brothers and actually had a psychic link between them their entire lives.

Rob Roy, are you serious? I never heard of that one or are you pulling our legs! That goes up there with Alan being the REAL father of Etta James or that Alan was...adopted!

Identical, you say. Hmm, I think I can discount that beauty here and now.

I'll buy that. It certainly explains the perfect timing of their comedy.

I always thought that Allan hale jr and Bob Denver were twins. It's really hard to tell them apart. I remember getting frustrated because I couldn't tell who was Gilligan and who was the skipper.

The same with Ed Platt and Russel johnon. Half the time I couldn't tell if I was watching Gilligans island or Get smart.

I know what you mean, the only way I could tell Gilligan apart from the Skipper was that the Skipper had a captains hat. If it wasn't for that I don't know how I could do it
