Martin Balsam was the first of three actors who portrayed Dr. Rudy Wells. A well-known character actor, Balsam's previous film credits included films such as Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Although Balsam officially appeared only the one time, footage of him as Rudy Wells can be seen in the opening credits of the telefilms Wine, Women and War and The Solid Gold Kidnapping, even though Wells is played by Alan Oppenheimer in the movie. To a lesser extent, Balsam can be glimpsed throughout the series in the show intro.
