Think I spotted the guy who played Jason Ironheart in an old "Combat" espisode that aired today on Starz Action Channel. Name in the credit was "William Allen Young" but not absolutely sure it is the same guy.
The only
Combat! series I'm familiar with originally ran from 1962-1967, was shot in black and white (except
maybe the last season or two) and starred Vic Morrow as a WWII infantryman. Given that the William Allen Young who played Ironheart was born in 1953 and would have been between 11 and 14 when
Combat! was in production, I think it unlikely that he could have appeared in
that show. Is there another series called
Combat running on Starz Action? (I don't subscribe to any premium movie services.) Young's IMDB entry lists his appearance in "Mind War" (and even the re-use of some "Mind War" footage in a flashback for "A Race Through Dark Places"), but no guest roles in any series called
Combat. It does show him appearing in the Vietnam war series
Tour of Duty. It may be that this series ran overseas or in syndication under a different title like
Combat, as is sometimes the case.
(The Jason Ironheart Young also did two episodes of
Scarecrow and Mrs. King, so presumably also worked with Bruce Boxleitner.
)
