The Supporting Cast of Old-Time Radio
The supporting cast of old-time radio: the character actors and voice actors heard in thousands of classic radio shows from the 1930s to the 1950s. Many played in hundreds of episodes across dozens of series, from the Gunsmoke cast and The Jack Benny Program to Suspense, Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, Lux Radio Theatre and Dragnet. Some starred on one show and took bit parts on the next. Here are the old-time radio actors behind the golden age of radio, all in one place, each with the shows and episodes we have them in, and free 24/7 stations playing their work. Hear the same voice move from Westerns to detective dramas, comedy and horror.
