Gordon #4

Wow, I never knew there were three Gordons! Did Roscoe Orman play Gordon in "Follow That Bird"?
Even before Sesame Street premiered, they had a different Gordon. When they produced a week of shows to test-market in July 1969, Robert Guillame (of Soap and Benson fame) was Gordon, but he didn't make the final cut. Enter Matt Robinson, who was originally hired as a writer and assistant producer. He had enough charisma to become our first Gordon.
A glimpse of Guillame can be seen in the 2001 A&E special that shows him, Susan, and Mr. Hooper dancing on the set
