Kind of stretching it to say that Kurt's 1966 role was one of his "first" screen appearances. By quick count, IMDB shows 15 that preceded LIS, going back to 1957. Including the lead role in the JAMIE MCPHEETERS series, the "jungle boy" in a GILLIGAN'S ISLAND episode, a one-shot as Barry Morse's son on THE FUGITIVE, and the kid who kicks Elvis on the shin in IT HAPPENED AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.

Another one-shot on LIS who later made it bigger was Dan (Hill St. Blues) Travanti. LIS was so childish that I never watched it past the first couple of episodes.

I think they have the relation between SPACE FAMILY ROBINSON and the tv series scrambled, but don't have the time (or the compelling need) to go Find Out.
