Since this is the most recent thread about "The Luckiest Man in America," I'll link this here:

Pressing One's Luck

TV/comic-book writer Mark Evanier on the movie, and PYL in general -- including the fact that Mark Evanier pitched a movie version of Michael Larson's story fairly soon after his appearance as a contestant (and Bill Carruthers had someone in mind to play Michael Larson in the movie at the time).

Eric Paddon:
That Carruthers thought of that particular actor for the part is another reminder of how much older Larson seemed than his actual age.

Ian Wallis:

For sure.  I saw the episodes first-run, and at the time I thought for sure he was in his 50s.  I think he was only 35 at the time.
