Dan Adams
Created by Larence Kimble
Studly Rod Cameron played DAN ADAMS, a retired naval intelligence officer turned San Diego private eye in COronado 9, a short-lived syndicated show back in the early sixties.
COronado 9 was the telephone exchange number for the wealthy San Diego County suburb that was Dan's stomping grounds, and the home of many of the rich and powerful who made up his client base. It was no doubt chosen as the title of the show in hopes of latching on to the popularity of 77 Sunset Strip, Surfside Six, et al.
COronado 9 was the third syndicated show the 6'4" ruggedly handsome Cameron starred in, following City Detective and State Trooper, although his chief claim to fame was the long list of westerns he played in during the forties and fifties. Born and raised in Alberta, Canada, he decided to pursue acting when his dreams of becoming a Mountie were dashed.
