Baa Baa Black Sheep was a military TV show that ran on NBC from 1976 until 1978 - and starred TV tough guy, Robert Conrad. The show was based on the World War II: Black Sheep Squadron.

One of Conrad's first paid acting jobs was in 1956. He had to stand outside a Chicago movie theater when the film Giant was showing - because he bore a resemblance to the movie's star, James Dean. The theater manager thought it would help boost attendance. Welcome to show biz!

Here is Conrad kicking back on the set of Black Sheep - enjoying a brewski - looking very much like Robert Conrad.
