exelente serie de sci - fi., y un gran actor de gran presencia y personalidad misteriosa ideal para esa serie

[Atta67]

Thanks for sharing this video, The Invaders is a cult series for me and Roy Thinnes is a kind of legend because of that.

If he knew how many fans (female fans) he had when The Long, Hot Sumer was on in Eastern Europe. We still had Ben Quick T-shirts, that was not so common in that era ever here! After all, he seems a very kind person, wishing him the best! :)

[sadproduction1]

I am 45 yrs old and still looking at Invaders on TCM and enjoying all the episodes even though I've seen them all as a teenager.Roy I loved you then and love you still.

Thank you for a great show.

[funkstagazza]

my fav tv series of all time

[mistressofaminer]

What about that wierd disc they would stick on someone's neck if I remembered correctly as a kid.

[informant007]

Terrific to see how Roy was so well treated by a number of fans. Amazing what can happen when you decide to take a little risk; what he originally feared became one of the best experiences he has ever had. A mini tribute to him and his fine work. :-)

[yoshabelle57]

Happy to see you, Mr. Roy Thinnes. Can never stop enjoying your performance in the tv mini-series, The Long Hot Summer (1965). You and Clara Varner (Nancy Malone) never fail to thrill me! What a GREAT actor......so quick, unpredictable, refreshing........unforgettabl­e..........Thanks!

[BarbedHook]

Well done Roy, I don't think I could have not fained some disorder or faked a heart attack especially for 6 hours. is it out on dvd yet in the UK

[MrFBCBSALES]

Awesome show that scared the hell out of me when I was a kid (my other favorite of the era was Dark Shadows). What one needs to understand is at the time this was made there were massive UFO flaps in the United States and people were actually fearful and so this I think added an element to the fear of the show in "could this really be happening?" That era is one I wish I could go back to and relive, a time before the internet. We only got 2 TV channels and a half hour of news at six.

[pdxdefatty]

He's sort of a "good looking" version of James Woods. Wonder why we don't see him in film more often?

[zorgen12]

That was nice, and Roy looks great. He definitely takes care of himself. Boy I miss the Invaders. Never understand why it didn't continue on for years.

[EmeraldAire]

I'm found out about 'The Invaders' while watching 'The X-Files'.

This is great!

There are really nice fans out there, and its fantastic that, since actors cannot enjoy applause when the do TV, they have fans that do this[give a party in "His" honor].

Great job Mr. Thinness!!

[lewisner]

I was invited to that party but even if I could have afforded to travel I wouldn't. I can imagine it must be rather creepy to have fans worshipping you.

[planetcheck]

A major studio should bring this show back on tv.

Or Hollywood should do a blockbuster movie on The Invaders!.

It would be a huge Summer blockbuster movie.

Roy Thinnes should have a major part in the movie.

Come on Hollywood, lets get going on the production of, THE INVADERS: THE MOVIE.

[Eddiesix]

I loved "The Invaders". It was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid and definitely one of the better sci fi shows. I watched it religiously every week. I was sorry to see it end!

[cosmicdingo]

He looks very good, I think.

[PhilsCinema]

great story .This is one of my all time favourite TV shows from the sixties.

it almost felt like the Invaders were real and who knows...........people talk about The Men in Black. These stories make me think of The Invaders. Great to have a little mysterious feeling about life.What if they are amongst us!

[ramonhurtado40]

los invasores,una de mis series mas favoritas en la decada de los 60 hoy dia la veo por el canal T C M mis respetos para usted señor ROY THINNES y,un feliz cumpleaños y que siga cumpliendo muchos mas,

[fairnorth]

Excellent ! I live in New York City, and I would love to attend the next birthday party for Roy Thinnes.

[FrenchExpat1]

That's because these fans were passionnate....

[housecarl6]

he looks like he`s  skint

[donnyab]

@housecarl6

am sure you're a lot more skint than he

[housecarl6]

@donnyab yep but i don`t look like i shop at peacocks

[macman1138]

I'd like to see it come back on TV with as many as the original actors as possible on the premise that is 40 years plus later, picking up the story from there.

[Humbertusmarius]

I grew up watching The Invaders in Peru, South America. A very good show, and sometimes very scary too. He was great in "The Hindenburg" also.

[carlus1953]

una de las mejores series que vi en mi vida exelente creible totalmente de que no estamos solos en el universo Roy thinnes un acyor de maravilla y hoy la estoy viendo nuevamente en retro de tcm gracias por tan buenos recuerdos que alla muchas series hoy como estas gracias Q Martin

[brunningtuber]

i loved this show growing up, and still do - it's fun to watch now 40 years later - so much of the trouble he gets in is because he can't find a pay phone to warn everyone! can't find a camera to shoot the evidence... times are so different

[TS7019]

That is really nice. As a kid, I loved the show. Glad to see Mr Thinnes is well and wish him many happy years.

[Buuuuuutch]

It's the man who has seen them!

...For him it began one lost night on a lonely country road looking for a short cut he never found.

[rentslave]

Arizona should hire Roy and send him to Washington.

[LokiV]

A Quinn Martin production!

[miramarensis]

Probably my most feared and at the same time revered TV series of all time. I couldn't have enough of these shows. Thanks David for making a big difference in a kid's entertainment life.

[VinnyMonster1]

@miramarensis It was a far better show that the abortive attempt to remake it. The Scott Bakula version lacked the air of tnese mystery and action of the original.

[mudylafeet]

The Invaders are running the UN and almost all Govs of the world, we need David Vincent to save us all. Great upload btw

[Robo1415]

This show is one of my fondest childhood memories.

[plastique45]

Wow, Roy Thinnes aged very well! He looks very classy and smart!

[MrDevo5]

just watched Beach head

[TremendoGallo]

El gran Roy Thinnes. Que extraordinaria serie y que buen actor. Realmente lo hacia creible.

[AleCaeser]

Brave man, going to such a party. It may have been harmless enough, but the fact that people can idolise another person to such an extent, is not normal.

I like him, and have the invader series, but i'm not going to build a shrine to the man. Some people are wierd, why don't they just leave him alone.

[VictoriaWinters1991]

@AleCaeser I don't think they were being weird at all. They just wanted to meet him.

[cosmicdingo]

He's doing very well apparently. THanks for this.

[spinout3]

fantastic upload. thank you.

[25ULRY]

Me encanta, tengo 51 años y veia Los invasores cuando era pequeña acá en Chile, sólo para ver a Roy. I love him. Thanks Roy a Kiss

[SCANDIN3]

he's so cool

[lerxt42]

what a lovely man. Thanks Roy

[sirtinycreep]

Wow, David Vincent. Time waits for no man but he looks well and you can see it's him. :)

[poitrenaud]

you too Gail! How are you? It's Paulie!

[gbrevard]

Tom and Lindsay, you did a wonderful job.
