Allan Hunt (born February 12, 1945) is an American actor, probably best remembered as Crewman Stuart Riley from season 2 of ABC's Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

Biography

Hunt trained at the Pasadena Playhouse, UCLA, American Conservatory Theater, and Seattle Repertory. After several small parts in his younger years he was cast in the second season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. He almost didn't get the part because Irwin Allen didn't like the idea of having another regular character who was taller than the series' lead actor Richard Basehart (who was 5' 8"). During season two with heightening tension in Vietnam, Hunt realized that he would be drafted, so rather than take his chances with the draft, he enlisted in the Marine Corps. He trained as a US Marine at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, then was transferred to Special Services with the US Army. During his time in Vietnam, Allan was responsible for USO shows, wrote special material and hosted and directed live stage shows. Irwin Allen promised to keep the role of Riley for Hunt when he completed his military duties, but by the time he'd finished in Vietnam the show had ended, so he wasn't able to return. Over the years Hunt has worked as an actor and director, as a regular for two years on General Hospital, as a news anchor for CBS affiliate KGGM in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1987 and in the late 1990s back on TV in shows such as Love Boat: The Next Wave and Charmed.
