The success of Columbo offered a singular opportunity for big stars to guest on the hit mystery television series. The show’s “howcatchem” formula placed special emphasis on the week’s new murderer, depicting how they committed a “perfect” crime only for Peter Falk’s shambling detective to tear their carefully crafted alibi to shreds.That allowed many well-known actors to make appearances on the show. The series provided meaty, substantive parts, and it was hard for an actor to resist playing a clever killer who thinks they can get away with it. A-list performers were regulars, including ten of the most famous listed below.Though obviously best known as a musician, the Man in Black ventured into acting more than a few times in his career. Before appearing on Columbo, he hosted his own musical variety series, The Johnny Cash Show, which ended in 1971. He continued to work onscreen afterward, mostly playing cowboys. (Simpsons fans remember him as Homer’s Space Coyote.)
