Musante starred opposite Susan Strasberg as Det. David Toma in Toma,
which ran for a season in 1973-74. The real Toma worked out of
crime-ridden Newark and was a master of disguise. Some criticized the
series -- created by Roy Huggins (TV's Maverick, The Fugitive, The Rockford Files) -- for being too violent.
Musante did not want to commit to another full season and quit after Toma was renewed. The violence of the show was toned down, and the series was retooled as the much-friendlier Baretta, starring Robert Blake in the title role.
