It's common knowledge that Paul Gross's wife Martha Burns plays the Russian spy Nadia in "Spy vs. Spy", but there's another married couple in that episode that at least I hadn't heard of before: Mort and Ruth! Here are some photos of Jan Rubeš (1920-2009) and Susan Douglas Rubeš (1925-2013).

The above pics are from the 1980s - here are a couple of much older photos: Jan perhaps in the 1950s/60s and Susan probably in the late 1940s or early 1950s. They got married in 1950.

Also, Jan Rubes was an opera singer, so no wonder Mort was singing all the time in the morgue - even when we first meet him in "Mountie and Soul", we hear his singing before we even see the guy!

I leave you with this photo of Jan from 1971 when he was directing a children's play, because, you know: "Fishing is ridiculous!" I so wish there had been more episodes with Mort, he's one of the absolute best recurring minor characters in the entire show.

Re-watched this forgotten, unappreciated and underrated crime/drama.

Harrison Ford received his only Oscar nomination for this role... and when you see his performance, you can understand why.

. - Your sister says you don't have a family. - No, I don't. - She thinks that you ought to get married and have children of your own, instead of trying to be a father to hers. - Yeah. - Except she thinks you are afraid of the responsibility. - That's interesting... anything else? - She thinks you like policing because you think you are right about everything and you're the only one who can do anything, and when you drink a lot of beer you say things like 'none of the other police know a crook from a bag of elbows!'. At least I think that's what she said.
