Before Tobey Maguire donned the live action webs there was Nicholas Hammond. He was Peter Parker/ Spider-Man during the 1970s live action CBS show. Podcaster CJ Johnson had a chance to talk to him about that show. He sent me an e-mail giving me a heads up about this awesome conversation. Hit the play button to listen.

Nicholas Hammond was and IS a great actor and best people…
Best Regards from Spain and take care Nicholas.
Jose.
OH YES! Hammond 4LYFE.
Nice interview
Great interview. Thanks for sharing! I loved that Nick Hammond actually seemed to love talking about the character- he sounded honest about his thoughts. Loved it. Thanks again
This is great! That’s really unfortunate that we didn’t get to see a Spider-Man/Hulk team up. Even though this take isn’t the best for Spidey, it would’ve been great to see them together.
Brilliant ! Great find Brad
