I also just found out recently that the actor playing Marcus, Magnum's volleyball partner who gets killed, is none other than Sinjin Smith! Sinjin will later become one of the biggest names in (beach) volleyball! In the episode, he is credited as St. John Smith, which threw me off. |
Sinjin already was the best beach volleyball player in the world when this episode aired. I was playing at the time and I remember the beach being abuzz because Sinjin was on Magnum!
More trivia for you... On the other side of the net is Sinjin's brother Andrew Smith, nowhere near as good a player as Sinjin but he did win a few opens in his day. He was also a Ralph Lauren model. The fourth player I believe is Jon Anderson who was Hawaii's best player at the time. They were playing on the Outrigger Canoe Club court and it looks like they were really playing a game and not just staging something for the camera - I'm sure Selleck insisted, after all, it's not everyday you get to partner with Sinjin Smith! Probably also why they showed stills from the game during the credits.

Great info Henry! Thanks! I wondered who those others guys were.

Thanks for the clarification. For some reason, I thought Sinjin was still a couple years away from being #1 (in 1982). I see now that I was wrong. The guy had a heck of a career, that's for sure!

Sam, I was incorrect in our PM. The in-episode credits are correct - Julia Nickson is "Carla", (Sgt.) Ardi Maioho is "Sylvia". The IMDb is incorrect in that Carla is not "Rose's Henchwoman", Sylvia is! Conversely, Sylvia is not the street merchant, Carla is! Not sure why the IMDb added "Rose's Henchwoman" to the end of "Carla", as the in-episode credits only name "Carla".
What's confusing is that neither Carla or Sylvia are addressed by their name in the episode, and Julia Nickson looks like she could be either character! What gave it away for me was the size and build of Rose's brunette henchwoman (hehe, love that word "henchwoman"). The actress who plays the brunette henchwoman is shorter and stockier than Ms. Julia Nickson. The body shape of the actress who plays the street merchant is much more in line with Julia Nickson.
Julia Nickson in "Three Minus Two":
I've corrected the credits on the various pages (Video, Classic Scenes, etc.)
Thanks for pointing this out Sam!

I chuckled at this episode. Daisy is from Cincinnati, Ohio (since I live there) and I have no idea how she developed that accent in Ohio. Must have been a transplant!
I'd forgotten that Annie Potts played in this episode and we finally get to to see Bob Minor (Rose). Poor TM gets a whoopin but he gets revenge later and not a nail was broken.
I think that this episode had too many red herrings dragged through it. The blackmail, hot goods, an unexplained drowning (was he pushed, did he jump, or did his paramour clout him over the head?), Daisy as a detective... all of which is a bit jammed togther by TM wandering through it.
