Episode 385 - Sam Edwards
A busy character actor on the big and small screens, Sam Edwards was also a versatile radio performer. Even in his 30s, he could still play teens - to comedic effect on Meet Corliss Archer or in dramas like Gunsmoke and Dragnet. But he was also effective at playing adults in shows all around the dial, including Suspense. We'll hear him as man on the run, accused of murder and without shoes, in "Too Hot to Live" (originally aired on CBS on June 29, 1954). Then, he stars in a tense tale of Russian roulette - "The Game" (AFRS rebroadcast from March 15, 1955). Finally, Edwards plays a jealous man who plots revenge against his boss and the woman they both love in "This Will Kill You" (originally aired on CBS on November 29, 1955).
