Lawrence Dobkin (September 16, 1919 – October 28, 2002) was an American television director, actor and screenwriter whose career spanned seven decades. Dobkin was a prolific performer during the Golden Age of Radio. His voice was used to narrate the classic western ''Broken Arrow'' (1950). His film performances include ''Never Fear'' (1949), ''Sweet Smell of Success'' (1957) and ''North by Northwest'' (1959). He announced the landmark television series ''Naked City'' (1958–1963), closing each episode with the statement, "There are eight million stories in the naked city, and this has been one of them." ==Radio== A former child actor, Dobkin began working in radio to pay for his studies at the Yale University School of Drama. He understudied on Broadway before serving with a radio propaganda unit of the United States Army Air Corps during World War II. When he returned to network radio he was one of five actors who played the detective Ellery Queen in ''The Adventures of Ellery Queen''. In ''The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe'' (1950–1951), Dobkin played detective Archie Goodwin opposite Sydney Greenstreet's Nero Wolfe. While playing Louie, The Saint's cab-driving sidekick on NBC Radio in 1951, he was asked to step into the lead role of Simon Templar to replace Tom Conway for a single episode — making Dobkin one of the few actors to portray Leslie Charteris' literary creation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lawrence Dobkin (Larry Dobkin) )〕 His other radio work included ''Escape'' (1947–1954), ''Gunsmoke'' (1952–1961), ''Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar'' (1956–1960), and the anthology series ''Lux Radio Theater''. "The few of us who are left," Dobkin said of his radio days not long before he died, "keep telling each other that we never had it so good."〔 He was also Lieutenant Matthews on ''The Adventures of Philip Marlowe'', along with several other characters. Continuing to work as a voice actor throughout his career, Dobkin contributed to the video game ''Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear'' (1999). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lawrence Dobkin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
