Fist choice to play TV detectives


I heard singer Bing Crosby was first choice to play TV 'tec, Columbo.

WT*

Can anyone confirm this? It has to be the most bizarre casting suggestion ever.

Any more???

reply

Yes it is true. He and another actor called Cobb were up for the role but Cobb couldn't do it due to other commitments and Crosby preferred to play golf instead.

Amazing. Wish they had done a pilot.
