The show did not really have a big cast. As a matter of fact, there was only one other semi-regular character apart from Jeannie, Tony, and Roger. We are talking about Dr. Bellows, a NASA psychiatrist brought to life by William Rorke. The actor actually used a stage name. He chose Hayden, which was the surname of his murder. Before the show, he made an uncredited appearance in This is the Army.
