My Take
Vince Edwards holds a special place for me as one of the faces who carried television's golden age. Born in Brooklyn in 1928 and trained at Ohio State, he became a household hero as Dr. Ben Casey, a role that made him a fixture in living rooms across America. He was genuinely versatile too, working as actor, singer, and director, and his turn as a hard-edged officer in The Devil's Brigade still lands. He passed in 1996, but I think it is important not to let these classic leading men fade. Their craft built the medium the rest of us take for granted.
