My Take

Replacing a familiar face mid-series is the most thankless assignment in television, and Sargent took it on with remarkable grace. Stepping in as the second Darrin on Bewitched meant being compared, weekly, to a man the audience already loved, yet he played the part on his own terms and kept the show standing until the end. I find that quiet professionalism more admirable than flashier careers. Even his stage name, borrowed from a magazine illustrator, suggests a working actor's pragmatism. He died in 1994, but for me he remains the patron saint of every performer asked to follow someone else and decent enough to simply do the work.
