Another journey into the realm of the strange and terrifying.

I hope you will enjoy the trip that it will thrill you a little and chill you a little.

So settle back.

Get a good grip on your nerves.

Where are we going?

You'll find out when we get there.

Well, greetings, everybody.

Welcome back to the podcast.

Got an episode for you today from Johnny Dollar.

And this time we start the Charles Russell run of the show.

And so that last episode that we aired of Johnny Dollar was just the audition episode for the previous actor. So Charles Russell played the role of Johnny Dollar from 1949 until being replaced by Edmund O'Brien in 1950. He was born March 31st of

1918 and he was a movie and radio actor who appeared in 17 movies between

1943 and 1950.

He made his debut in an unaccredited part as a ball player in Ladies' Day of 1943.

His last film was Chinatown at Midnight of 1949.

He technically originated the role of Johnny Dollar, the official role of Johnny Dollar.

And so we will be hearing from him for a while on the show until Edmund O'Brien takes

over in 1950.

Charles Russell passed away January 18th of 1985 in Beverly Hills, California.

All right.

So today's play really kicks off the official run, you might say, of the Johnny

Dollar program.
