Added DiffLines:

* CatchPhrase: Kelley's most famous character had two of them, and astonishingly, he had used ''both'' of them prior to ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]'':
** ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: First uttered when playing a young doctor on ''Series/TheMillionaire'' in 1955: "I'm a doctor, not a politician!"
** HesDeadJim: Playing a field medic in a WWII flashback in 1956's ''The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit'', he utters the words "This man's dead, Captain".
