Later, in the early 1940s, he also majored in theatre at the University of Kansas at Lawrence.[4]

Acting career

Early roles

Acting with the university's drama club prompted him to halt his studies to audition in the Hollywood film industry. Under the name Michael Gale (a play on his first name), his first screen role was a sailor in Coast Guard (1939). After his debut in a small role in 1939, he adopted the stage name Craig Stevens.

The series was produced by Blake Edwards, who also wrote and directed many of the episodes. The iconic theme music for the series was composed by Henry Mancini.[6][14]
