J. Carrol Naish shows why he was "Hollywood's one-man U.N." in his first and last visits to Suspense. The two-time Oscar nominated actor could convincingly play characters from all over the world, and his knack for accents is put to great use in these radio thrillers. First, he co-stars with Joseph Cotten in an adaptation of "The Most Dangerous Game" (originally aired on CBS on February 1, 1945). Then, Naish stars in a story of pirate's booty in "The Treasure Chest of Don Jose" (originally aired on CBS on February 4, 1952). Plus, we'll hear Naish in an episode of his radio sitcom Life with Luigi (originally aired on CBS on August 21, 1949).
From poverty row's lowest rung of studios PRC comes THE MONSTER MAKER (Newfield 1944). J Carrol Naish stars in a role clearly meant for Bela Lugosi, with co-stars Ralph Morgan, Tala Birell, Glenn Strange and Ace the Wonder Dog! (Spoiler alert: The dog does NOT die. Phew!)

In his appearances on Suspense, Naish put his talents for accents and dialects to good use.
