Jack Weston!


Without checking, I'm going to guess he was in several episodes of
"The Twilight Zone."

checking

Gee, only two?


Both of Jack Weston's Twilight Zone episodes were recently remade into
Twilight Zone radio shows.

The Twilight Zone radio shows don't seem quite as good as the classic radio
shows of the forties and fifties, but they aren't bad. The radio shows are
played on several stations. They can be heard starting midnight Saturday
night, central time, on WGN AM 720.

The two Twilight Zone remakes will show up on WGN radio in the next few
weeks:

6-19-04
"The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street" starring Frank John Hughes (Catch Me
If You Can / Band of Brothers).
Plot: Inexplicable events cause the residents of a quiet town to erupt into
rioting. The residents suspect that an alien invasion has occurred and that
one of their own is a monster living among them.

7-24-04
"The Bard" starring John Ratzenberger (Cheers / Monsters Inc.) and Stacy
Keach (American History X / Mike Hammer).
Plot: Jack Weston is an untalented would-be TV writer whose career takes off
when the ghost of William Shakespeare writes his scripts for him.
Shakespeare is appalled by the sponsor's changes, including the casting of a
"Marlon Brando" type actor to play the lead.

I've heard both of these, and I'm sure the late Jack Weston is in neither of
the radio remakes, despite his name's appearance in the second plot summary.
