Peter was my Father. This "gift" was not an easy gift to live with.

Please share with us if you don't mind! Playing with peoples psyche is dangerous it can rip into dimensions we are protected from, where entities and spirits of the deceased exist and can invade us.... giving subtle oerceptions since they are in that realm. But it can play havoc woth our human system and lead to all manner of problems, especily mental! He seems a lovely person and very humane!

Actor Albert Salmi did a fine job of playing Peter Hurkos. I understand they met, and what a conversation they must've had. I'm guessing they met before this broadcast so that Salmi could "get inside his head" and fully understand the man he was to play.

Did albert have a murder suicide

I read a bio about Hurkos. Fascinating. He was given prehistoric material and his description of a pair of "cave-people" was vivid and somewhat frightening, the only un-verifiable of his readings.

[@Pro-Deo]

I really wish he was alive so I could talk with him.

[@Loveoldies50]

What was the name of the bio? I'd love to read it.

[@rogerscottcathey]

@@Loveoldies50 : Gosh, I don't recall, but it came out in the 60s, possibly even the later 50s. Should be easy to find the title. I'll look around, if I recognize the title I'll share it

0:00 should have been seen at the very end. "ALCOA THEATRE" (alternating with "GOODYEAR THEATER"), was featured on NBC's Monday night schedule at 9:30pm(et) through the end of the 1959-'60 season. It was a more traditional anthology series, repeated in syndication as "AWARD THEATRE", and rebroadcast on A&E Cable as "THE GOLDEN AGE OF TELEVISION" in the late 1980's.

I believe Steven King watched this show and later wrote The Dead Zone based on this .
