| - Before Airwolf, he was Dr. Rudy Wells
- Martin E. Brooks was the third and most-used actor in the role of Dr. Rudy Wells on The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. He was eventually "promoted" to the status of "regular" in the last two seasons of both series. Although his name and image now appeared in the title sequence, he did not appear in even the majority of episodes of any one season. He was most present in the third season of The Bionic Woman, by which time the series had switched networks, though he continued to appear in both series. He appeared in most of the multi-part storylines, like "Kill Oscar", "The Bionic Dog", "Doomsday Is Tomorrow", "Deadly Ringer", "Fembots in Las Vegas", and all of the episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man focused on Jaime Sommers, except for her introductory story.
- Born Martin Baum in The Bronx, when he was 10, young Martin moved with his family to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. After high school, he volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army, became a paratrooper with the 11th Airborne Division and was awarded a Purple Heart for injuries received during World War II. He attended Penn State University and enrolled at the Dramatic Workshop of the New School for Social Research in New York City. He won the off-Broadway best actor award for his performance in Outside the Door and changed his name to Martin Brooks, following the advice of producer Richard Rodgers.

| - Before Airwolf, he was Dr. Rudy Wells
- Martin E. Brooks was the third and most-used actor in the role of Dr. Rudy Wells on The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. He was eventually "promoted" to the status of "regular" in the last two seasons of both series. Although his name and image now appeared in the title sequence, he did not appear in even the majority of episodes of any one season. He was most present in the third season of The Bionic Woman, by which time the series had switched networks, though he continued to appear in both series. He appeared in most of the multi-part storylines, like "Kill Oscar", "The Bionic Dog", "Doomsday Is Tomorrow", "Deadly Ringer", "Fembots in Las Vegas", and all of the episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man focused on Jaime Sommers, except for her introductory story. Brooks appeared with Lindsay Wagner on an episode of her television series Jessie (1984) as "Dr. Welt". One of his most recent film appearances was in the 1995 science-fiction B-movie T-Force in which he plays Dr. Gant, a Rudy Wells-like character who creates a team of terrorist-fighting androids who run amok. Due to Brooks being the third actor to play Wells, two circumstances arose in episodes produced after he joined the series that resulted in previous actors being brought back. The Bionic Criminal required the services of Alan Oppenheimer as Rudy since it relied heavily on flashbacks from The Seven Million Dollar Man, in which Oppenheimer had appeared and switching between the two actors would have sacrificed continuity. Similarly, when the 1973 pilot film was re-edited into the two-part The Moon and the Desert for syndication, Martin Balsam, who played Wells in the TV movie, was commissioned to record new narration for the episodes rather than Brooks.
- Born Martin Baum in The Bronx, when he was 10, young Martin moved with his family to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. After high school, he volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army, became a paratrooper with the 11th Airborne Division and was awarded a Purple Heart for injuries received during World War II. He attended Penn State University and enrolled at the Dramatic Workshop of the New School for Social Research in New York City. He won the off-Broadway best actor award for his performance in Outside the Door and changed his name to Martin Brooks, following the advice of producer Richard Rodgers. In perhaps his most recognized role, Martin was the third and most-used actor in the role of Dr. Rudy Wells on both the ABC-TV/NBC-TV series The Six Million Dollar Man and ABC-TV's The Bionic Woman. He was eventually "promoted" to the status of "regular" in the last two seasons of both series. Although his name and image now appeared in the title sequence, he did not appear in even the majority of episodes of any one season. He was most present in the third season of The Bionic Woman, by which time the series had switched networks, though he continued to appear in both series. He appeared in most of the multi-part storylines, and all of the episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man focused on Jaime Sommers, except for her introductory episode. Brooks appeared with BW co-star Lindsay Wagner on an episode of her television series Jessie (1984) as "Dr. Welt". One of his most recent film appearances was in the 1995 science-fiction B-movie T-Force in which he plays Dr. Gant, a Rudy Wells-like character who creates a team of terrorist-fighting androids who run amok.
