Actor Murray Hamilton appeared in three episodes of "Cannon," including the two-hour pilot. In the pilot, he had a beard and really played up the "hound dog" (as Cannon puts it) accent.
The pilot film aired on CBS, March 26, 1971 and was filmed in New Mexico. Murray Hamilton played "Virgil Holley."
Many familiar faces in the "Cannon" pilot, including Vera Miles, J.D. Cannon, Earl Holliman, Barry Sullivan, and Linda Day George.
