Why wasn't Nicholas Hammond in this?

Yes I used to watch that. Had one of the von Trapp children.

Studios figure not enough fans would get the reference from an obscure short lived show from 25 years ago.Would have been cool if he popped up as a retired old man version of peter.

I wondered if he had a cameo too.

But there was no way that he was getting a main part. There's no point. The youngsters wouldn't know who he was, and he'd probably be too old to pull it off.

Having a small appearance or cameo for a joke, like Lou Ferrigno did in Incredible Hulk movies would be cool, but no need for anything more than that.

that show was a pretty big deal to the young damosuzuki1.

Nicholas Hammond Spider-man had Joanna Cameron in a bikini. That beats Zendumdum.

And YOU'RE not a true Spider-Man fan for liking such a lame TV show.

Also they should have used SpiderMan from those short skits on The Electric Company as well. That version of Spiderman is still my favorite. Very disappointing he was never used

Apparently there was a plan to give him a cameo but it was cut before it was filmed due to timing. Hammond who is semi retired and living in Australia says he was never approached.
