Tenspeed And Brown Shoe Original Closing

From the network master. Featuring a bonus preview of the next episode. Ben Vereen was a superstar of stage, screen, and television. He was the most popular and respected actor in the US in 1977. But then...nothing. He was off the screen and unheard from for two years, a lifetime in Hollywood. What the heck happened? It can be said that his last truly starring role was Tenspeed Turner.

I don't remember what year, but Ben Vereen was in a serious auto accident and was MIA for a long time. Eventually, I thin he had a cameo in Star Trek; The Next Generation.

@us71 The tragic accident occurred in 1992 while he was appearing on "SILK STALKINGS." This was twelve years later than the "disappearance" to which I was referring.

He was in two accidents in one day because he had been in a single-car accident, gotten out of the car and then was hit by a vehicle being driven by music producer David Foster. Supposedly he was thrown anywhere from 50 to 90 feet. Yet he's singing and dancing today.

Didn't Paramount co-produce this show with Cannell? I believe that it's owned by them (CBS Studios, actually).
