One looks for new fields to conquer. The other sees his future rooted in the same area for the time being. This clearly defines the courses taken by Nick Nolte and Peter Strauss. Both emerged as televi sion stars last season as they played the Jordache brothers in ABC's startingly successful television adap tation of Irwin Shaw’s novel, “Rich Man, Poor Man.” The series, a mid season phenomenon, did so well for ABC in the ratings, it seemed inevitable that what was primed for a limited-run series would be continued into the new fall season. It almost did not come to pass because of the reluc tance of most of the prime characters to ride along with the series for another season. Nolte might have been resurrected from the past (he died in what was originally planned as the series finale) had he in clined to go along with the new season. But Nolte made it per fectly clear that he wanted to venture into feature films. He is getting $225,000 to costar in a film version of Peter Benchley's latest book. “The Deep,” now on location in Bermuda. Jac queline Bisset and Robert Shaw are costarred. Peter Strauss was also reluctant to continue in the series. He once was con sidered a bright prospect in Hollywood as a film star. He has worked steadily, but his reputation, while good as an actor, did not move ap preciably forward as ini tially anticipated. Suddenly, he achieved the plateau of stardom, but in television, not feature films. ABC obviously wanted to continue. "My first answer was ‘no.' I was not resting on those laurels. It seemed no possi ble way we could continue the series," Strauss declared.

Stadium, Washington, DC.) 4:00P.M. — (Ch. 2): MOVIE: 'An Agent For The Plaintiff' Publisher Glenn Howard suspects he is being framed when an unethical PETER STRAUSS Is still trying to make it In the tough world of show biz, after Rich Man, Poor Man failed to bring him promised success. But the show’s popularity with the public was so over whelming, Fred Silverman, President of ABC Enter tainment, concluded it should continue. The alter natives, without a principal returning character were limited. "He needed one of us,” Strauss claimed. “Nick was firm. I thought I was, too. The alternatives (for ABC) were flashbacks, or age (take the series years ahead and bring in new actors for the roles)." Then Strauss, who played Rudy Jordache, the more stable of the brothers, had a change of mind. The catalyst may have been the sudden interest in the television series from Shaw, the book's author. Until this point, Shaw had shown lit tle, if any, interest in the TV series, other than to note that the series had stimul ated book sales -• 750,000 sold after the four episodes were played. Shaw then got interested in the series. In two days, he watched 12 hours of the taped seg ments. Then he sat down at his typewriter and, in three days, turned out 90 pages of material for future episodes, according to Strauss. Millard Lampell, a Pater son native, was signed on as headwriter, and 15 hours were completed in treat ment form before produc tion was started. Strauss was impressed with the new material. He agreed to con tinue, and Rich Man, Poor Man was back on the schedule for the new season. The show’s early ratings are still strong. There have been some indications of Strauss’s displeasure with the way his role has turned out this season, but in earlier interviews, he had other thoughts. He liked the material, and “loved the woman lawyer brings suit against him on behalf of her money-hungry boyfriend. Gene Barry, Susan Saint James. Honor Blackman, Mau rice Evans, Evans, Brian Bed ford, Anthony Caruso, Richard Peel, Murray Matheson. 1968 4:00P.M. — (Ch. 8): MOVIE: Peck's Bad Boy' Classic story about the boy who couldn't stay out of trou ble and the trouble his parents had.

Jackie Cooper, Jackie Searle, Dorothy Peterson, Thomas Meighan. ” 1934. 4:00P.M. — (Ch. 17): MOVIE: 'Sebastian' A men'al genius whose life consists of his undivided attention to his work in the decoding section of British Intelligence, finds him self attracted to a young woman who works as one of the decoders. Dirk Bogarde, Susannah York, Lilli Palmer. John Gielgud, 1968. fact that I could see the en tire story written out in ad vance and see the character develop." Strauss was serious about moving on to other things at the end of last season. He joined the cast of “The Last Tycoon," the feature film version of Scott Fitzgerald's novel, which stars Jack Nicholson. “What delighted me here is that I could change and develop a complex new character that I was creat ing." Instead of new strides in his career, “The Last Ty coon" proved to be merely a hiatus project. Into the new season, Strauss said the level of this year’s material was above some of the pulp, as he called it, that occa sionally surfaced last season. As of now, 22 episodes are ready -- an entire season. If the ratings falter, and the show doesn't make it past mid-season, Strauss noted, the series would end in the middle. Each episode will not be a story unto itself. They are continuing episodes. The toughest part for Strauss has provem to be the aging process. “It’s tough to play a 40- year-old man when you’re 29,” he said. Strauss is under a one year contract. “I possibly could go on,” he explained, “but I want to guard against an unhappy situation. Television has a habit of slipping into mediocrity. “Television is very young. I do want to stay in it. It gives you incredible, devastating exposure. Nick (Nolte) feels differently. His attitude was once you're in it, get out of it. I want to stay in television until I get enough power. “Then I can bring projects to television. All of a sud den, doors have opened for me, thanks to Rich Man, Poor Man. If we bomb this season, I'm on my backside again, and I’ll have tc start all over, again." 5B
