Every weekend he'd have me come down to work on Dragnet, which by now was on television as well as radio.
Three days a week and Im home at the ranch in Fallbrook with my avocados.
I love talk and I love fishing. I'm having a ball.
We host some trips all over the world. We go to Alaska. We go to Mexico. We're going to Venezuela in December. We've been to Russia, all in conjunction with the radio show.
I even played Jack Webb's partner on the radio version of Dragnet for a while.
My wife and two children traveled with me on locations all last season.
On other shows, guys can't wait to put 3000 miles between them during hiatus.
My main worry is that after a certain point you become so identified with a character and a series that you might not be able to get work when your show goes off the air.
