B., New York, N. Y. You can write to Jan Miner c/o Wolf Radio & TV Productions, 420 Madison Ave., New York, N. Y. Father And Son Dear Editor: I would like to know about the stars of Rocky King. Detective — Roscoe Karns, who plays Rocky, and Tod Karns, who plays his assistant, Detective Hart. Are they related? L. P., Crete, Neb. The two bloodhounds of Rocky King, Detective are blood relations — namely, father and son. While other sleuth shows have seen many replacements, Roscoe Karns is the original and only Rocky King. He's a plainclothes man now, but Roscoe got his start in the theater when his military school uniform won him an usher's job over other mufti-clad candidates. He's been in show business ever since and has appeared in more than 200 films, generally cast in light-comedy roles. "I'd love to do a serious role," Roscoe sighs, "but I'm definitely typed as the light-comic type." His own favorite film roles include "Night After Night," "It Happened One Night," and "Twentieth Century." He appeared on Broadway in "School for Brides," and on the West Coast in "Front Page," when he also spent a lot of time with detectives and grew familiar with their on and off-duty lives. As Roscoe's real-life son, Tod Karns recognizes that the family has "acting in its blood," but he once seriously considered giving up show business for an art career. He has received top prices for his paintings, but he eventually settled on acting and the role of Detective Hart in Rocky King, the part of Stillwell, the helmsman, in the movie of "The Caine Mutiny," a number of appearances in the Andy Hardy series and a role in Frank Capra's "Flame-Out." Tod, who has done paintings for Frank Sinatra and Garry Moore, is also a golfer of ability and often plays with Bing Crosby and Groucho Marx.
