Not sure if actor Martin Milner was known outside of USA but heard on the TV news today, Sept. 07, 2015, that actor Martin Milner passed away at age 83.
He was famous for two TV programs. The first one was "Route 66" that he was in from about 1960 to 1964 with actor George Maharis.

He later starred in "Adam-12" with Kent McCord about two police officers - a weekly TV program from 1968-1975. I used to watch that program a lot as a kid. It was based on the local LAPD in Los Angeles.
He also was in six episodes of early "Dragnet" in the 1950's, another police TV program. I don't know if any of these TV programs were shown outside of USA.
