Richard Chamberlain for me was Edmond Dantes, Aramis, Jason Bourne, the Shogun and my faved, Allan Quatermain. Twose two cheesy movies from the late '80's, featuring young Sharon Stone and James Earl Jones, Herbert Lom and Henry Silva. B movie Heaven & Royalty. Unfortunately the second Quatermain flick was such a flop they never completed a Trilogy :).
The character, an Indiana Jones adventurer, but more Camp, was based on the H. Rider Haggard character from his Pulp novels. Ironically, Indy was inspired originally also by Alan Quatermain. The character was resurrected for Sean Connery in the malignant The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen/LXG (2003), which convinced Sir Sean to retire from acting...
Richard Chamberlain was more one of my mother's favorites, than mine. She watched the Thorn Birds on the video dayz (& Nites;)
He died March 29th 2025 at 90 years of age. RIP...
