    Yah I remember it, Nick Nolte was one of the brothers. It was base on a really bad Jeffrey Archer novel.

    The novel was by Irwin Shaw as far as I remember. I think Ed Asner was the dad. Don't remember who played the other brother. He was a dark haired guy anyway.

    No, you are right it was Irwin Shaw. I was getting it mixed up with "Not a penny more, not a penny less"

    Peter Strauss was the other brother.

    Rich Man, Poor Man (1976) starred Peter Strauss and Nick Nolte as the Jordashe brothers, Rudy and Tom.


    The bad guy mentioned above was Falconetti, played by William Smith, who also starred as Jack Wilson, Philo Beddoe's main protagonist in the Clint Eastwood comedy, Any Which Way You Can.

    He also featured, it would appear, in every high profile U.S. TV series in the '60s, '70s and '80s, and even a few in the '90s:
    The Asphalt Jungle
    Perry Mason
    The Alfred Hitchcock Hour
    Wagon Train
    Batman
    I Dream of Jeannie
    Lassie
    Daniel Boone
    Bearcats!
    Columbo
    Mission: Impossible
    Kung Fu
    Ironside
    The Streets of San Francisco
    The Six Million Dollar Man
    The Rockford Files
    Planet of the Apes
    Gunsmoke
    Barnaby Jones
    Logan's Run
    Vega$
    Trapper John, M.D.
    Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
    Hawaii Five-O
    Fantasy Island
    The Dukes of Hazzard
    Matt Houston
    The Fall Guy
    CHiPs
    Knight Rider
    Benson
    Scarecrow and Mrs. King
    Hardcastle and McCormick
    T.J. Hooker
    Simon & Simon
    The A-Team
    Highway to Heaven
    Airwolf
    The Twilight Zone
    Murder, She Wrote
    Due South
    Walker, Texas Ranger

    Sorry for bumping this, watching for the first time on youtube since it was broadcast in 1976,77. In what episode does Falconetti (William Hill) make the first appearance on an episode, its not listed in IMDB nor Wikipedia.

    I remember much amusement at the time when we discovered that the character we all knew as Falcon Eddy was in fact Falconetti.

    Ha, yep, when I was a kid he was Falcon Eddie too. He was a great character. Bad to the bone.
