Edmond O'Brien - the most realistic Johnny Dollar?

With most people I have questioned, Edmond O'Brien is at the bottom of their lists of favorite actors to portray old radio show insurance investigator Johnny Dollar. However, he actually might be the most realistic of them. O'Brien's manner was gruff and matter-of-fact, and since an investigator is, after all, not an actor, the Dollar he gave us may have been the soundest of all.
