His other grandfather was the Marlboro Man.
Turns out Dick Hammer and the Marlboro Man are one-in-the-same.
quote:
Richard Bernard "Dick" Hammer (July 17, 1930 – October 18, 1999) was an American athlete, firefighter, and actor. Born in Long Beach, California, Hammer was a basketball player at the University of Southern California, competed in volleyball at the 1964 Summer Olympics, and was a retired Captain with the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD). As an actor he played the role of Captain Richard "Dick" Hammer in the first season of the Jack Webb produced television show Emergency!, which debuted on January 15, 1972. He left the show midway through the first season, because he felt that being a real life firefighter was more rewarding than playing a fictional one. He returned to the LACoFD and retired with the rank of Captain. Hammer also portrayed the Marlboro Man in cigarette advertisements in the 1970s.
