Great little article on young Kent McCord preparing for his new role on Adam-12, 1968.
We learn "Reed" spent 14 nights riding in a real LAPD patrol car; it was Bob Cinader's idea; he gained new respect for cops; he was shocked by the language cops get called; dead and severely injured people freak him out; he was once a bar bouncer and ended up in the hospital from it; he went to Citrus Junior College in Azusa; playing football with Ricky Nelson launched his career; acting classes, contract at Universal, Jack Webb; Kent McCord would NOT put up with what cops do for that money.
