Title: Conrad Bain, unusual fact or Bain and Bain, what is Bain?
Post by: CyrusL on June 08, 2005, 04:44:08 PM
 ;D I was watching one of the new SCTV collections on DVD, when they had an episode that parodied old SF movies like Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Zontar: The Thing from Venus, and they introduced as their guest star as Hank Bain, brother of Conrad Bain. Well, I thought it was part of the humor but as it turns out, our own Mr. Wells, (late of death by werewolf  [Wolfie] ) does indeed have an identical twin brother   [a233] named Bonar Bain, who did some acting, most notably on an episode of "Maude." And both are (drumroll...) Canadians!  Who knew?

 That's cool.  I didn't know Conrad Bain had a twin brother.

Isn't that the one with the cabbage leaves?  And Natalie Cole singing, "You're Nothing But A Fool"?  I remember watching that when it originally aired and being rather perplexed by the name Bonar.  To this day, I wonder if he was often kidded about his name (Bonar/Boner), although it could be a common name in Canada.
