Probably just my age but to me Maury Chaykin is Nero Wolfe. From back in the days when A&E actually had some artistry and was entertaining.

He screams. Stout's Wolfe didn't scream. Her bellowed.

Timothy Hutton is Archie Goodwin, and the actors for Fritz and Inspector Kramer are PERFECT.

BTW, the Nero Wolfe TV show with William Conrad was pretty bad. They dumbed down everything, did not do the office right at all, had a pathetic beta-male for Archie, and they made it contemporary (late ‘70s).

William Conrad just has the right voice, but he didn’t embody the character properly.
