He was on quite a few radio episodes in the first season as Chief Edward Backstrand. Even as early as season 1, Harry Morgan played various roles as well, long before he was Gannon.
And Lee had a real camera presence even here! Kind of like Clint Eastwood- always fun to watch, but couldn’t really “act” in the sense of being able to transform themselves into someone else, ya know? Their personalities are so distinct, that to me, I could always see “them”, and only them, no matter the character or movie!
This the best July Fourth holiday in recent memory thanks to these old b&w Dragnet episodes. What fun! And name dropping both G.K. Chesterton and Omar Khayyam in the nun episode shows how clever the writers were.

Barton Yarborough, who played Ben Romero, actually died making this episode was a tribute to both the man and the police officer. Herb Ellis played Frank Smith for a few episodes before Ben Alexander took over the role.
Raymond Burr was such a ph*g. He couldn't act his way outta a paper bag. Jack Webb, a genuine supporter of police, seems to have been a really decent guy, a dedicated jazz musician with a massive record collection. He married singer Julie London who was hot stuff in the day who say "Cry Me a River," a hit in the late 50's or early 60's.
I just have to say watching this ten mins in here in South Korea they put on ads that quite literally run forvten minutes or longer. Who do they think is going to sit and watch ten or fifteen mins of ads? It’s a kind of Korean thinking that that is not rational but after 25 years here I’ve seen this kind of thinking in other places. And no sd blockers don’t work on iOS amd I’m not paying $14 to YT every month not to see ads. Alternatives are Brave of Edge browsers though recently I see sds invsding Edge. But the logic of running ten minutes of ads or more makes no sense. Who is going to sit there and watch them to the end and not hit Skip Ad aftrr 30 seconds? Who is going to sit to see the ad at the nine min and 30 second mark when yiu eere watching the TV show? Koresns can be very logical in most things but this kind of thinking escapes me. How many Koreans aevgoing to watch a 70 year old black and white police show in English with no subtitles in Korean? So who is going to watch the Korean ads for beer? YT sold them that ad time and over hereI bet less than 100 people would watch the ads in Korean. Few Koreans would be watching Dragnrt, only us English speakers and we will hit Skip. The reason I know about the length of ads is I noticed a strange coincidence. I can be watching a TV show or movie on YT and 90% of the time as soon as I get up to do something sds will pop up like the iPad is watching me and as soon as I stop watching it clicks on ads. If I’m away for five or ten minutescads keep playing until I come back and hit Skip Ad. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this. I know iPhone takes a photo of your face every half second in infrared so you can’t see it to know if you’re still watching or shut off. I suspect iPad is doing the same to triggervads if you stand up and walk away. It’s totally manipulative.

@@tonijoncevski8607 NYPD have been chock full of criminals, as long as I can remember. Since the Serpico days,there has been at least 5 huge investigations. LA , I'm not out there but when I was in the 80,s they led the KKK of so cal
@Bill Karmetsky So you're telling me that since the 60s, when Johnson.was passing groundbreaking civil right laws,the Jewish defense league & other organizations used this as a grift. And when Nixon (foolishly imo) took us off the gold standard, a type of pozi scheme was used by jews to screw others and enrich their communities. That is quite an anti Semitic take. No-one has to believe it, or accept it as fact, nor should they
