Sam Eliot ?


What's the story on why he replaced Peter Lupus in the opening credits midway through Season 5 ?

reply

The producers wanted to get rid of Lupus, cause he wasn't a good actor. But the fans would have none of it. So that's why Lupus stayed and Elliott was given his walking papers. I think Greg Morris was the one that said Lupus got more fan mail than the rest of the cast.

I remember when the producers tried to dump Peter Lupus. I was very upset about it. I'm glad they came to their senses
