🏈 Robert Culp’s tour de force appearance as Paul Hanlon in The Most Crucial Game (Columbo, season two, episode three, November 1972) marked the first time an actor had returned in the role of a killer, after Culp’s initial outing in Death Lends a Hand in season one. Hanlon is general manager of the LA Rockets football team and concocts a murderous plot against playboy Eric Wagner (Dean Stockwell).

📺Death Lends A Hand (1971): Robert Culp plays suave but ruthless Investigator Brimmer, one of only two 1970s Columbo killers whose first name we never learn. The other is ‘Swanny’ Swanson, murderer of the titular mariner in Season 5’s Last Salute to the Commodore. #columbo #peterfalk #robertculp #television #TV #1970s #70s
