    I'd like to point out that Andrew Stevens (David Tolliver) played Mike Eruzione in the made-for-TV movie "Miracle On Ice", with Karl Malden as (a not-looking-like-him but really good) Herb Brooks. Whenever I watch this episode, I keep saying in my mind, "Eim a hockey playah!" And then the Olympic Fanfare plays.

    I always think Stevens is creepy. He has the look of a villain, a stalker or worse. Angela Lansbury also seems to meander along and enter all kinds of questionable places. Not smart behavior for a supposedly smart woman. And Peter Graves? Known for Mission Impossible, the TV series.

    The character never came back but the actor did as another possible creepy weirdo murderer. Anyone know that actors name btw? And I've already started writing MY autobiography and it's called Harmless but Horny😂😂😂❤

    You missed the connection between Peter Graves and Greg Morris, who played the detective. Both were in Mission Impossible. This is one of many episodes which featured sets of characters from other shows. Love this content.

    What's creepy about every single episode of 'Murder: She Wrote' is that Jessica Fletcher was always there at the location of a murder. Either in the States or around the world, she was there on location where someone she either knew or was acquainted with was murdered. Yet, she herself was never accused of or suspected of the approx 274 murders, including 60 in Cabot Cove, her hometown. But there is one single episode where she was accused of a murder but of course was innocent. Also, it seemed the death of her husband was a blessing in disguise for only then did her talent for writing mysteries express itself and her sudden endless circle of friends all round the world arose.

    I would like to know who played first victim Alison Brevard. She had a couple of lines of dialogue before she was strangled by her own pearl necklace. You can't expect the viewer to assume Amelia (Lois Nettleton) was the killer in that scene. The killing of Lila was more her speed. 😮

    You know folks, there is that reboot coming up with Jamie Lee Curtis. Maybe we will see David Tolliver once again. 🤔
    Wait a minute (looks at David. Thinks then looks at the Hollywood Wives Wikipedia page) I knew it! THAT'S BUDDY HUDSON!!! Struggling actor and ex-gigolo of older women! Oh wait then he also played Deke Andrews, his psychopathic identical twin and, dun dun dun, murderer!

    I just had to look up the name of the actor who played David Tolliver. An actor named Andrew Stevens. Stevens was on the show twice. 5 years after this episode, Stevens came back, but he was playing a totally different character. Pity, because he could have come back as Tolliver, with a storyline about him spending half a decade being obsessed with Jessica.

    I agree with how murdery this David seems, but he can't be the killer because one of Jessica Fletcher's detective superpowers is immediately vibe checking whether someone can kill.

    One absolutely great thing about Ms Angela Lansbury among the myriad of wonderfulnesses of hers was that she would hire older actors, often friends, so they would not lose their SAG/AFTRA pensions. I could not love her more for this.. For instance, actor Len Cariou appeared in several episodes. Not well known outside of theater, he was “Sweeney Todd” in the original Bway production , in which Angela made theater history as “Mrs. Lovett.”

    -Okay. Off to go.. lamp shopping.

    Every decade has that one haircut that just takes over.
    80s: that updo that Jess has
    90s: the short choppy layers with thick highlights
    2000s: bowl cuts
    2010s: Undercuts

    Actually, my thought about Peter Graves was more along the lines of him working on "Mission: Impossible" on a nearby set and asking his co-star Greg Morris if he wanted to tag along to the "Murder, She Wrote" set for the lols…

    I just finished that episode and David was so creepy and unsettling, especially at the end of the episode that I was brought here after googling if he ever showed up again as a real killer. I couldn't remember MSW ever have any episodes that weren't pretty much self contained but that ending seemed to really set up him returning at a later time as a threat to Jessica
