@edgarblythe,
Wow! Peter Gunn. Went to the archives to find this bit of info, edgar.
Craig Stevens (July 8, 1918 " May 10, 2000) was an American motion picture and television actor.
Born Gail Shikles, Jr. in Liberty, Missouri, he studied dentistry at the University of Kansas City. Acting with the university's drama club prompted him to give up on his studies and try to make it in the Hollywood film industry. Adopting the stage name Craig Stevens, he debuted in a small role in 1939 and thereafter played mainly secondary parts. In 1944, he married Canadian actress Alexis Smith to whom he was married for almost fifty years until her death in 1993.
After nearly twenty years in film, in 1958 Craig Stevens gained national prominence for his starring role as the "super-cool" private detective in the trend-setting television series Peter Gunn. The series was produced by Blake Edwards, who also wrote and directed many of the episodes. The theme music for the series was composed by Henry Mancini and helped establish his early fame.
Of course we all know that Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer wrote this one, and I had no idea that Frank Sinatra sang it.
