Staats Cotsworth
(1908 - 1979)
STAATS COTSWORTH was labeled "radio's busiest actor" in 1946. Cotsworth began his day with an 8:30 a.m. rehearsal for Lone Journey. The day sometimes ended after a repeat live performance for the West Coast audience of Mr. and Mrs. North, in which he played Lt. Bill Weigand. Between the two he would appear on several of the 10 daytime dramas in which he maintained running parts, although not all were concurrent. Amanda of Honeymoon Hill, Big Sister (he was the male lead for a while), Front Page Farrell (he was the best known actor in the title), Lone Journey, Lorenzo Jones, Marriage for Two, the Right to Happiness, the Second Mrs. Burton, Stella Dallas, and When A Girl Marries. Despite those, he was perhaps better recognized as the nighttime supersleuth Casey, Crime Photographer. And in his spare moments Cotsworth turned up on The Man from G-2, Mark Trail, The Cavalcade of America, The March of Time Quiz, Rogue's Gallery, and various other series.
