ROBERT STACK Actor, “The Name of the Game” The University of Southern California, 1941 Polo Robert Stack currently stars as crusading crime magazine editor Dan Farrell in “The Name of the Game,” television’s first weekly mo- tion picture series. A versatile athlete during his school years, Stack was an All- American Skeet Champion at 16 and, at the University of Southern California, he was one of the stars of the varsity polo team. While in college, Stack decided to pursue a theatrical career, not a sur- prising choice as his grandparents were renowned singers. He entered the Henry Duffy School of the The- ater and was signed to a contract at Universal six months later.
