Branded: The Stage of Fools (1966)
Martin Landau guest stars in this episode as legendary American actor Edwin Booth, who has embarked on a theatrical tour of the West despite widespread resentment towards his Presidential-assassin brother John Wilkes Booth. Jason McCord (Chuck Connors) agrees to hire on as Edwin Booth's bodyguard, little suspecting that the embittered actor plans to become a murderer himself. Booth's intended victim is John F. Parker (Chris Alcaide), a former Washington DC police officer whose drunken dereliction of duty may have been a major contributing factor in Abraham Lincoln's assassination. The great African American character actor Rex Ingram appears as Booth's loyal general factotum Hannibal. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
