Dr Brader had not played a single acting role since the 5th grade, playing Lord North in a made for elementary school Revolutionary War drama of which the name escapes him, when he was discovered on the set of "Those Who Kill" pilot. He was given a speaking part and was allowed perform CPR on a Hollywood starlet and throw the bad guy against the wall. But alas, 99% of Dr. Brader's high nuanced and expert portrayal of himself ended up on the cutting room floor.
