James Caan was fantastic in 'Thief'. He said that was his favourite of all his movies.
I also like the story that he told about going to the Playboy mansion one evening and
staying for 2 years!

Hugh Hefner loved the TV detectives of the era and used to have a regular poker night
with those guys. One of them was Don Adams, AKA Maxwell Smart, and Caan and Adams
became good friends. This is why Caan appeared in 'Get Smart' as Rupert of Rascalia for
two episodes. He was billed in the credits as ?

Rupert of Rathskeller as himself.

The episodes are called "To Sire With Love" parts 1 & 2.

Don Rickles has a largely silent cameo in the same episodes as a nameless (Rupert calls him 'dummy') Kaos soldier.

He aint a boomer. Boomers are 77 or younger. Has something to do with the war ending.
