- Gavin MacLeod — Captain Merrill Stubing. When he was cast on The Love Boat, MacLeod had just wrapped up seven years on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. His agent told him The Love Boat script “sucked” but added that Spelling really wanted MacLeod for the part, and the industry-savvy actor recognized it immediately for what it was: a gold mine.
- Bernie Kopell — Doctor Adam Bricker. Kopell was already well known to TV audiences long before he set sail on The Love Boat. Oddly, he started out his acting career playing mostly Mexicans and Puerto Ricans.
- Fred Grandy — Yeoman Purser Burl "Gopher" Smith. Up until The Love Boat, Fred Grandy’s biggest break was a recurring role as Carol’s boyfriend on the show Maude.
- Ted Lange – Bartender Isaac Washington. Surprisingly, Ted Lange used to co-write a sex advice column for the magazine FHM. Initially, his co-writer was porn star Jenna Jameson and then he partnered up with Beth Ostrosky Stern, wife of Howard.
