Actor seamen
Peter Falk, who played the scruffy detective Columbo for decades, worked as a messman and cook. Jack Lord, best known as Steve McGarrett on the original “Hawaii Five-O,” was a third mate and graduate of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Old-time western fans may still remember Clint Walker from his days on “Cheyenne,” but few know that although he makes his home in the California desert these days, Clint sailed on deck out of the Port of Long Beach during World War II.bengy

Re: Actor seamen
Tommy Steel the 50's singer was a winger on the QM I believe.
But on UCL there was many an actress/actor depending on your choice.
Most were first class wingers but they put on a great performance.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
