 The Great Stone Face - Reacting rather
than acting, Robert Stack's performances as FBI agent Eliot Ness on
the crime drama THE UNTOUCHABLES/ABC/1959-63 earned him the nickname
"The Great Stone Face." His performances were likened to statuary. He
later starred on the successful UNSOLVED MYSTERIES/NBC/CBS/1987-2002 that
focused on dramatic recreations of such topics as missing persons,
and unsolved mysteries.
Ed Sullivan, a deadpan journalist-turned-host
of the successful Sunday night variety show THE ED SULLIVAN
SHOW/CBS/1948-71 was also called "The Great Stone Face" & "The Old
Stone Face" by reviewers. And long before Stack and Sullivan, silent film
actor Buster Keaton was called the "The Great Stone Face (of
Comedy)".
