Hamilton Burger was the best prosecuting attorney that ever faced Perry Mason. You'll notice that he's not in season 3 of the show. Apparently, William Talman, who portrayed Hamilton Burger, allegedly smoked marijuana at a party that he attended. The party had been raided by the police. Although, William entered a non guilty plea to misdemeanor charges, he was fired by CBS because they said that he had violated his morals clause. The fans were enraged as was the cast. The cast said that they might not return to the show unless CBS rehired William Talman. As we know, CBS did rehire him, and all was as it should be, once again, on Perry Mason. That's spectacular loyalty to a good friend. I love the cast for standing by him during this ordeal. I have great respect for what they did. 😁😍
