Miguelito Quixote Loveless is a fictional character who appeared as the primary antagonist of ten episodes of the 1960s western action television series The Wild Wild West. Portrayed by Michael Dunn, he is a brilliant but insane mad scientist born with dwarfism.
Martin said the series was dropped while it was still a ratings hit. It turns out an anti-violence campaign had scared CBS into reconsidering the show's value. While it was ultimately canceled, Ross said that CBS would've kept The Wild, Wild West on the air if they could've found a later time slot for it.
The Untold Story of MICHAEL DUNN - Dr. Loveless from "The Wild Wild West"
Why was Wild Wild West a flop?
The site's critical consensus reads, "Bombastic, manic, and largely laugh-free, Wild Wild West is a bizarre misfire in which greater care was lavished upon the special effects than on the script." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 38 out of 100 based on 25 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
How many times did Michael Dunn appear in The Wild Wild West?
Dunn appeared as Dr. Loveless 10 times on The Wild Wild West (four times apiece in the first two seasons and one time apiece in the remaining two seasons—his health problems prevented him from a contracted appearance of four episodes per season).
In 1880 Loveless eventually died of ulcers brought on from anger and frustration at having his plans consistently ruined by West and Gordon, so his son and daughter Doctor Miguelito Loveless, Jr. and Carmelita Loveless subsequently seek revenge on the agents.
During the last days of the war in 1865, a terrible accident made him literally lose part of his body from the waist down, forcing him to spend the rest of his life in a steam powered wheelchair, making him even more determined to conquer the United States.
Another episode revealed another of Martin's talents: he was a concert-trained violinist. In 1968, Martin broke his leg and then suffered a near-fatal heart attack, forcing The Wild Wild West to replace him with other actors, including Charles Aidman, William Schallert and Alan Hale Jr for nine episodes.
Buono appeared in four episodes of Perry Mason. In season 5, (March 17, 1962), he portrayed Alexander Glovatsky, a small-town sculptor, in "The Case of the Absent Artist". In season 7, (April 2, 1964), he played John (Jack) Sylvester Fossette in the episode "The Case of the Simple Simon".
Salma Hayek was born on September 2, 1966 in Coatzacoalcos, Mexico. Her father is of Lebanese descent and her mother is of Mexican/Spanish ancestry. After having seen Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) in a local movie theater, she decided she wanted to become an actress.
Hayek, who was raised Catholic, stated in a 2007 interview that she was no longer devout and did not believe in the Church, in part because she disagreed with practices such as its campaign against condoms in Africa, where she said AIDS and overpopulation were rampant, though she clarified that she still believed in ...
She reveals that she needed to gain some weight for the role, which gave her the perfect excuse to have a love affair with Italian food and not feel guilty. While it was a dream come true, Salma says getting back into shape at age 54 is not as fast or as fun as it used to be!
Munitia (Musetta Vander) is one of the four statuesque assistants who also serve as bodyguards and henchwomen for Loveless in the 1999 movie "Wild Wild West". She is played by the South African born actress, Musetta Vander. Munitia appears as the weapons expert of the group.
Dunn is perhaps best known for his recurring role as Dr. Miguelito Loveless, the arch-nemesis of Secret Service agents James West and Artemus Gordon on CBS' The Wild Wild West. He appeared in ten episodes of the show between 1965 and 1968.
Did Robert Conrad do all his stunts in Wild Wild West?
On The Wild Wild West (1965) he did most of his own stunt work, resulting in several injuries during the course of the show. During one episode's shooting he slipped while performing a stunt and fell head- first onto a concrete floor 12 feet below.
Did Richard Pryor ever appear in the Wild Wild West?
In 1966, Pryor was a guest star on an episode of The Wild Wild West. In September 1967, Pryor had what he described in his autobiography Pryor Convictions (1995) as an "epiphany".
Among iconic locations used for filming were Bronson Canyon ("Night of the Returning Dead" S02 E05) and Vasquez Rocks ("Night of the Cadre" S02 E26). The TV movies used Old Tucson Studios and Apacheland Studios in Tucson, Arizona, and Gold Canyon, Arizona, respectively.
Adams guest-starred in five episodes of four TV series that year, including an installment of his friend Robert Conrad's The Wild Wild West, an appearance in Combat! and two episodes of Hondo (a short-lived western which also had an ex-Confederate theme).
Then, Conrad had much to say about his WWW co-star, Ross Martin, and the rumors the two didn't get along. There was nothing which Ross Martin, in his personality, for me not to get along with. We were totally different. He was educated, spoke several languages, he'd gone to law school.
