While we wait on a Warner Archive announcement for season one of Mr. Novak on DVD (from what I hear, the release is coming late this year and likely not sooner), I'd like to share a few images from Chuck Harter's excellent book here...and with the author's permission...
As we've seen previously, Walter Koenig attributes his high profile and showcase performance as a teenage Russian defector in season one's "Boy Without a Country" (Dec. 10, 1963) as being instrumental in his later casting as "Chekov" on Star Trek...his career signature role, of course...Walter also appeared in two season 2 episodes as well, both of those also being dynamic and important roles in his early career as an actor..."The Firebrand" (Apr. 13, 1965) and "With a Hammer in his Hand, Lord, Lord!" (Sept. 29, 1964)...
Promotional print ad for "Boy Without a Country"...
James Franciscus and Walter Koenig...
Author Chuck Harter at lunch with Walter Koenig in Jerry's Deli in Studio City just last week...Chuck tells me that Walter is in good health and has a number of personal appearances scheduled for later this year on the convention circuit...
