Ephrem Zimbalist Jr., who plays Daniel Chalmers, is the real life father of Stephanie Zimbalist, who plays Laura Holt.
Daniel Chalmers, the mysterious mentor to Remington Steele claims as a quick con that he is a Colonel in the 10th Royal Hussars on being discovered by Laura Holts mother, and claims Steele was a Lieutenant under him. Steele then replies to a suspicious Laura Holt, who says, "You were in the Royal Hussars?" with "Ah yes! The Shiny Tenth!" This was the Regiments actual nickname, which existed from 1715 until 1969.
