* Morse was asked by Lew Grade if he wanted the role of Bergman, without knowing either of the Andersons. The script for the first episode, "Breakaway", contained no real character backstory, beyond that the character was American. Morse put a large amount of effort and time to develop a backstory for the character, and passed it along to the Andersons to give to the writers, but it was never used.Remember with Advantages: Chasing The Fugitive and Other Stories from an Actor's Life - Barry Morse, Anthony Wynn, Robert E.

* Morse left the series feeling dissatisfied with the lack of a distinct character he'd been able to create for Bergman. The new producer for the show, Fred Freiberger, wasn't interested in keeping the character. After being asked to take a substantial pay decrease, Morse left the series.Remember with Advantages: Chasing The Fugitive and Other Stories from an Actor's Life - Barry Morse, Anthony Wynn, Robert E.
