Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Young Nelson may never have hit the big time in Hollywood but in recent years his long lost 1970's work for Filmation Studios has finally become available on DVD, so his work now lives on.

Firstly, the Shazam! series, about the flying superhero Captain Marvel. This series was made for Saturday morning kid's television so it took some by surprise that a two-part episode, "The Road Back"/"The Lure Of The Lost", was all about a drug dealer and Nelson played a character named Gary, who worked directly for the dealer. Gary's later change of heart about the whole drug issue was well played by Nelson and the role probably had a good affect on the youth of the day.

Secondly, Nelson had a guest role in another Filmation series titled Ark II. In this episode, "The Tank", Nelson played Zachery, who lives on an earth of the future that has been mostly destroyed. The image of Zachery taking command of a long unused tank is one of the most memorable moments of this short lived series.

Nelson also appeared in two episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man series and when you put this all together you could say that Nelson added something rather special to 1970's TV fantasy.
