Episode 321 - The Buck Starts Here (Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar)
When Johnny Dollar itemized his first expense account on February 11, 1949, he was played by actor Charles Russell, and Russell would fill the role for just over one year. Though his tenure was short, Russell's take on the character – glib, sarcastic, and a little unscrupulous – makes him stand out in the fraternity of actors who brought Dollar to radio life. We'll hear him in three episodes: "The Perikoff Policy" (originally aired on CBS on 2/11/1949); "Melanie Carter and the Un-Nice Niece" (originally aired on CBS on November 12, 1949); and "The Animal Show Unscheduled Performances" (originally aired on CBS on December 10, 1949).
