Hmmm… I still say Brit Hume has more resemblance.

.. never heard that he was based on Donaldson

Yes! The busts! “we must we must! we must increase our busts!”
It is a cute show… still fun to watch as an adult. Go PBS go!

That was, believe it or not, fashionable back then.

Here’s his Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Calhoun#U.S._Senator_and_views_on_slavery

The early photography technology required the subject to stand/sit absolutely still for several minutes while the exposure was taken. This accounts for the fixed, stiff, unnatural expression on so many of the early portraits.

The busts outside? Wait, are there busts…? Whatever, that’s a cute show. I like how they incorporate Dr. Ruth & the kids are none the wiser!

He looks like he just graduated from Mad-Scientists University. He’s got the crazy hair, shifty eyes, and lost his neck for the process.

What the heck is with Calhoun’s neck-beard only style?

Sam the Eagle was based on Sam Donaldson (the newscaster). So that’s pretty much a gimme.

Peter Boyle looks EXACTLY like Sam the Eagle. I’m surprised no one has done that yet.

I think Peter Boyle (the father) from “Everybody loves Raymond” looks more like Sam. And Calhoun gives me the heebie geebies. Dude looks mean. Something in his eyes…

Seconds….
And I must say, thats a fairly good resemblance!! Also reminds me of something from Between The Lions but I can’t recall what….

Nope – Brit Hume is the definitive Sam the Eagle lookalike
