I knew about Bruce Forsyth's autobiography before I started this thread but now I've found his second, 'Strictly Bruce: Stories Of My Life' published in 2015 (6.20 A Little Bit of Luck...

We all know William Windom from Murder She Wrote, and Star Trek: The Doomsday Machine, and Columbo, and a million other roles, but he did pop up in 6.15 All Thieves On Deck, and he did publish his memoirs in 2009: 'Journeyman Actor: A Memoir'.

Carl Ciarfalio, highly regarded Hollywood stuntman, who appeared in 6.13 Summer School, published his memoirs in 2015: 'Stars, Stunts and Stories: A Hollywood Stuntman's Fall to Fame'.

Season 5 done. On to six!

Brit actor Arthur English had a small part in 6.2 Deja Vu Part 2 as a newspaper seller, but he's more well known for his role in BBC sitcom Are You Being Served? In 1986 he published his memoirs, 'Through the Mill and Beyond'.
