Steve Ihnat in Perry Mason

http://volcanoseven.com/BriefCandle for a tribute to Steve Ihnat.

Steve Ihnat guest-starred in The Case of the Duplicate Case in Perry Mason's Season 8, airing April 22 1965. It's fun to compare Ihnat's perfromance as an aggressive, even pushy, salesman, with his laid back perfromance as Lt. Minns in The Twilight Zone's The Inheritors just five months earlier.

He has three scenes (plus some reaction shots that I didn't include.) Two of the scenes are pre- murder, his final scene is the denoument scene. That final scene also has an actor named Don Dubbins, a name you probable wont recognize but a face you probably will.

Also in the denoument scene of course is Raymond Burr as Perry Mason. Steve will act with Burr again in a 1967 episode of Ironside (Season 1, ep 15, The 14th Runner).

You are correct! Must have had Twilight Zone on the brain. Too bad it wasn't a TZ ep, it would get a lot more air play.

Can he look any more guilty in that final scene????

Thank you for this! Wow, this character is definitely a huge contrast to Lt. Minns, as you said. But The Inheritors is a two-part Outer Limits episode, not The Twilight Zone!
