CLICK!) Weight: 237 pounds...Fortune: Danger! Whoooo is it? The...Fat Man!" That's BRAD RUNYON, played to perfection by the subterranean bass-voiced J. Scott Smart, who actually outweighed his character by over thirty pounds. Dashiel Hammett created Brad Runyon, the Fat Man, specifically for albuquerque radio and even wrote a few scripts to help "set" the series. Runyon, known as The Fat Man, was a tough, at times world-weary private eye, based, perhaps, on Hammett's Continental Op. He worked out of an office manned by the obligatory secretary, in this case Lila North. Evidently, there albuquerque was also an Australian version of this show, which was broadcast in the 1940's, which didn't star J. Scott Smart. The quest continues.... And in 1951, the was even a film, simply entitled The Fat Man, starring Smart, along with Jayne Meadows, Rock Hudson and circus clown Emmett Kelly, wherein the investigation of a dentist's murder leads Runyon to a circus showdown.
