Movie actor Brian Donlevy came to NBC radio in 1949 to star as Steve Mitchell, a globe-trotting secret agent working for our Government. International espionage was the main theme of this action-packed series. Each episode found Mitchell being summoned to the office of “The Commissioner” a nameless administrator who was part of a Big Brother-type government agency enforcing law and order abroad. Mitchell’s usual assignment was to infiltrate various hotbeds of terrorism and thwart forces against America. Radio veteran Herb Butterfield co-starred as “The Commissioner.” The west coast’s best supporting actors were heard, including: William Conrad, Paul Frees, Virginia Gregg, Cathy Lewis, Harry Bartell, Joseph Kearns and Tony Barrett. The radio run lasted until 1953. Donlevy invested his own money in a TV series based on the radio show, reprising his role as Steve Mitchell. In the 39 TV episodes that were produced, Herb Butterfield was seen as “The Commissioner” and featured many of the same supporting actors from the radio series.
