Sebastian Cabot. Photos from 1960-1965. Sebastian Cabot gained popularity when he starred in the TV series Checkmate for 2 seasons, from 1960-1962, with his brilliantly posh British accent, immaculate beard and round shape. He went on to star in another series in 1962, The Beachcomber, which I know little about. He also was a regular panelist on Stump The Stars, a charades type Game Show, pitting a regular team of celebrities against other guest celebrities.
