A Man Called Ironside: Something for Nothing

on BBC One London

Criminal investigator extraordinary
A film series starring Raymond Burr as Robert Ironside
with Don Galloway as Det.-Sgt. Brown, Barbara Anderson as Officer Eve Whitfield, Don Mitchell as Mark Sanger
with guest stars, James Farentino, Susan Saint James.

Ironside tries to find just one witness courageous enough to testify against a ruthless moneylender who controls a powerful crime ring.

Don's dream came true
Don Galloway always wanted to be an actor. 'When I was a little kid I wanted to be an actor so badly I could hardly believe it would happen. It still hits me once in a while. I say, "What are you doing?" and I realise I'm doing what I want to do'.
Galloway was born in Brooksville, Kentucky. He went to university there and studied drama.
After working as a soda-pop delivery van driver and as a page at NBC in New York, he landed his first acting job, a running part in a daytime TV serial.
'I went to a reading at 5.30 p.m. one day', he said. 'I'd been knocking on doors all day and I was tired. There were forty others waiting who looked exactly like me. I read just to get it over with - and got the job'. Then four years ago he went to Hollywood and worked pretty steadily until "A Man Called Ironside" came up.
