Episode Synopsis
Tony Barrett was a very busy radio actor, with recurring and regular roles on The Adventures of Frank Race, Defense Attorney, and Tales of The Texas Rangers. He could also be heard in guest spots on all sorts of mysteries, westerns, and dramas. Barrett went on to a long and successful career as a writer, where - among other things - he developed the classic 60s/70s cop show The Mod Squad. We'll hear him in four of his starring turns on Suspense, beginning with "Give Me Liberty" (AFRS rebroadcast from March 29, 1955) where he's a fugitive trying desperately to lose a pair of handcuffs. Then he's a murderer who's recognized by a high school classmate in "Remember Me?" (AFRS rebroadcast from May 3, 1955). In "Over the Bounding Main" (AFRS rebroadcast from June 21, 1955), he tries to survive a boat trip from hell, and in "The Flame" (originally aired on CBS on May 29, 1956), he plays a pyromaniac who tries to put his skills to work and help a friend.
