It Takes a Thief (1968-1970) - USA Only

Tags: , , , ,



It Takes a Thief is an American action-adventure television series that aired on ABC for two and a half seasons between January 9, 1968 to March 24, 1970. It was among the last of the 1960s spy television genre, although Mission: Impossible continued for several years. It Takes A Thief was inspired by, though not based upon, the 1955 Cary Grant motion picture To Catch a Thief, directed by Alfred Hitchcock; both of their titles stem from the English proverb “It takes a thief to catch a thief.”

Wagner starred in three popular American television series that spanned three decades: as playboy-thief-turned-secret-agent, Alexander Mundy, in It Takes a Thief (1968-1970), as Eddie Albert’s ex-con man turned crime-fighting partner, Det. Pete T. Ryan, in the con-artist-oriented drama Switch (1975-1978), and as Stefanie Powers’s super-rich husband and private-eye partner, Jonathan Hart, in the lighthearted crime drama Hart to Hart (1979-1984). In movies, Wagner is best known for his role as Number Two in the Austin Powers films of the late 1990s and early 2000s. He also had a recurring role as Teddy on the popular TV sitcom Two and a Half Men.
