By Andy Noble Vince Edwards has been trying lo break oul ol the Image be creeled lor himself more than 20 years ago when be played Ihe title character m "Ben Casey," one ol TV's most popular medical dramas - He's directed nearly 50 TV shows (Including 'Fantasy Island" and ' Batlleslar Galactlca") and has continued acting His most recent role Is as the unscrupulous head ol a weapons company In Ihe new IHm, "Deal ol Ihe Century," a black comedy about arms merchants co-star­ ring Chevy Chase and Stgourney Weaver But even to IWs day. 17 years alter "Casey" tell 2it. Edwards is stHt primarily recognized as the blunt, unortho dox neurosurgeon The 55-year-old actor calls the "Casey" role a "double-edged sword" that gave him lame as a younger man, but which subsequently hampered his career SHU. he wouldn't rule out doing a TV movie updating his character -- considering the popularity ol such current medical dramas as "St Elsewhere" and "Trapper John. M D " "I think we would do Casey now as a disillusioned ideal­ ist, lighting Ihe business ol medicine When he llrst came oul, he was lighting the bureaucracy. Then he learned all there is to learn Now he's lighting some 30-year-old guy who has just come out of financial school who says, 'we gotta move those beds, we gotta make some money ' "l think that's kind ol an Interesting premise since medi­ cal costs have gone through Ihe tool you know, the old greed syndrome. Doctors today are more concerned with billing than with curing Edwards says he d do a "Casey" remake lor Ihe "obvi­ ous reasons" "The financial rewards are gigantic and I think we could say a lol " But Edwards Is also aware that TV has spawned lew characters since the early '60s who were as memorable as Casey, who were, as he says, "bigger than the show " "TV doesn't look lor personalities anymore Over the last 20 years I could name lor you on one hand the solid characters on TV -- Casey. Columbo. Eliot Ness. Kojak I can 1 think ol loo many more who are bigger than their show Maybe Mr T is about the only current example " '
