Frank Bussone Interviews William Conrad About Nero Wolfe

[@michaelpowell5266]

1980 was a busy year for William Conrad. In addition to NBC's Nero Wolfe, he also voiced the title role of the Lone Ranger in one-half of CBS' The Tarzan/Lone Ranger Adventure Hour, produced by Filmation!!!

Great man and a very pleasant person everyone seems to be so aggressive these days wish I could have met him.

[@ronaldcach2779]

He was great on the golden age of radio

[@rudybishop9089]

What a champion he was and if I saw him at a game I would say hello - sorry Willy !

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

I agree. He was a class act. Loved him in Cannon. He was a great actor and championed the down & out always trying to help others no matter the cost. I watched Cannon as a kid and now I am revisiting these old shows on #metv Very enjoyable and I love these retro tv shows, at least some of them. Some surprisingly good episodes! He really did a great job. At the end of the day, he was a great man, Mum just loved him too and that for me says it all! He really was just a great man and actor as my Mum had morals and class which were passed along to me RIP

@@BrianCarnevaleB26 ha ha I’m from California but “me Mum” was from Essex - Yanks have “Moms” - also Ol Willy Conrad was given one of two Lead covered Maltese falcon’s from Jack Warner - found after he passed and sadly Ytube has been pulling all of these classic’s because of copyright rules.

Such a commanding voice

Wore the exact same clothes in Return of Frank Cannon

[@sovereign5066]

And much of seasons 4 and 5. Think he 'outgrew' the zippered blue jacket he also wore.

[@V8_screw_electric_cars]

[@uhf001]

Imagine being in an Los Angeles bar and having a couple shots of bourbon with Mister Conrad.

[@rossmartenak5517]

Why did he change his birth name?

[@V8_screw_electric_cars]

Actors always do that sometimes there was someone named the same and you need unique name and sometimes it's agents who think it sounds better btw. "Cannon" was a nod to his real last name (Cann).

Doesn't work, Nero Wolf he is not. Sorry

[@carloswaluda8048]

Wholeheartedly disagree

[@V8_screw_electric_cars]

Impossible, he was great in everything he was
