He was eventually cast in the adventure series Manimal for NBC in 1983, in which he played the lead character Professor Jonathan Chase, an Englishman who assists police in the fight against crime with his ability to transform into animals. The role impressed MacCorkindale, who considered Chase to be a “very cerebral individual”. He also “found himself in the first wave of British stars to make it big in America,” along with Joan Collins in Dynasty, which led to a further influx of British actors finding work in the United States. Filming on Manimal would often run for as long as 14 to 16 hours per day, and MacCorkindale would sometimes be required to work at weekends to be made up with the prosthetics necessary for Manimal’ s transformation sequences. The low ratings that resulted in the cancellation of Manimal after one season and eight episodes was in part due to NBC broadcasting the series at the same time as Dallas on CBS, Manimal losing out to the more popular “soap”. Budget cuts also contributed to the series’ cancellation as it was the network’s most expensive series. Manimal has since acquired a global cult following.
