Wackiest Ship In The Army to High Chaparral

I just thought of something that might make a good tv trivia question: Mark Slade played radioman Patrick Hollis for one season on "The Wackiest Ship In The Army" on Sunday nights in '65-'66; then went on to play Billy Blue Cannon on "The High Chaparral" in the same time slot the following year. Has an actor ever gone from one role to another in the same time slot? You can take this useless information and a buck (four bucks at Starbucks) and buy a cup of coffee...but... just wunderin'......

It was the same time slot (10 PM EST, Sundays) and same network (NBC), but not the following year. "Wackiest Ship" left the air in 1966; "High Chaparral" premiered in 1967. In between, "The Andy Williams Show" and "The Saint" filled the timeslot.
