And although buy I didn't realize it buy at the time, "The Fat Man" was my favorite mainly because of the man who played the lead role of Brad Runyon, that corpulent, hard-fisted, sensitive private eye with the cynical wit and big heart who would get his friends out of scrapes and unerringly lead Sgt. buy O'Hara and Lt. MacKenzie to the solution of the mystery. That actor was none other than J. Scott Smart. When I came to realize as an adult how much of an impact his personality and skill had upon me, I became curious to find out more about him. As it turned out, I discovered far more than I bargained for. Jack Smart was not only a famous radio actor -- certainly as famous in his day as, say, Peter Falk playing Columbo or Andy Griffith playing Matlock are in ours -- but also an accomplished stage actor, jazz historian and musician, amateur gourmet chef, newspaper writer, and artist.
