Seven Degrees of Sherlock Holmes - #26 - Ken Berry, also a Disney Connection again.

Song and dance man who came along a little after the big song and dance movies, so his talent was never really appreciated as much as it could have been. But none-the-less, he has done all right for himself.

Ken Berry - 1933 - of 'F' Troop fame


was a regular in the short run series about WW2, "Twelve O'clock High" - 1964-1967


starred actor Robert Lansing - (1928 - 1994)


who also starred the another short run TV show - 'The Man Who Never Was' - 1966


which also featured Murray Hamilton - (1923 - 1972)


who took part in the James Garner film, 'Darby's Rangers' - 1958


which also featured the well connected Sherlock Holmes actor, Reginald Owen - (1889 - 1972)


who we know played Watson in 1932 and Holmes in 1933

So there you have it,. . . . wait!

Or we could just link Ken to Leonard Nimoy (1931)
who did a national tour as Sherlock Holmes in the 1970's


under who Ken Berry served, in the early 50's, while in the Special Services Corp while in the army.

  • Ken Berry (1953–1955), dancer, actor, singer, was in the Artillery and Special Services divisions at the close of the Korean War. Rank of corporal.
  • .
  • Leonard Nimoy, actor, writer, film director, poet, musician, and photographer was in the Special Services division and was sergeant over Corporal Ken Berry.

    1. It is amazing how paths cross, but sometimes go off in different directions.
      One became a big star, to some, and another just works a little less under the radar, yet both are very talented.
