Wasn’t Cannon the radio voice of the Lone Ranger too? Man, memories do fade.

The radio voice of the Lone Ranger was Brace Beemer...

I just remember watching one episode where he engaged in a fist fight with some jazzbo under a pier. It seemed to go on for hours. Made me sick to my stomach.

And...his son [Robert] who ^skilled^ as “James West” in the original WWW show.

I think I’ll watch another episode of 70s TV!

You young bucks might not know it but the fat William Conrad was the radio voice of Matt Dillon in that first incarnation of Gunsmoke.

He was also the narrator on the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon series.

I wasn’t aware that Rosie O’Donnell was ever in a detective show.

No matter how "^skilled^" he was, Robert Conrad was not William Conrad's son--

It was during an interview he gave during his Mannix time that I first learned about the Armenian genocide. It got me interested in exploring history for other things I had never been taught.

#9 The photo you included is William Conrad before he started gaining weight..... He later shaved and left just the mustache.
