Darryl Hickman has been one of my favorite actors of all time. Both my sister and I memorized the opening credits which are: One hundred years ago, Americans, both North and South, gripped by opposing yet sincere beliefs fought the war between the states. From this struggle emerged a new character, a new America. To the brave and gallant soldiers of the union and confederacy, we dedicate this program. Through the eyes of two young brothers, Ben and Jeff Canfield we will relive once more the tumultuous days of the blue and the gray the story of the Americans.
We loved this show and unfortunately have not been able to see it for over forty years. I was hoping we could get a DVD of it so if anyone knows where, please let us know. His picture with Dick Davalos and Gigi Perreau in their roles on the Americans appeared on the cover of a TV Guide issue in 1961. Darryl Hickman was also on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business around 1964. We loved him as Davey on Dobie Gillis. I have seen the majority of his movies. I would love to be able to write to him and let him know how much he is appreciated or at least to be able to get a picture of him.
