Dick Powell
The role of Amos Burke actually antedated Barry's series, having been played by Dick Powell on "Who Killed Julie Greer?," the initial episode of "The Dick Powell Show" in September 1961. The first incarnation of the series was produced by Powell's company, Four Star Television. As in the later series, the episode features several well-known TV and movie stars in cameo appearances as suspects – one of whom is the murderer (in the original Dick Powell episode Ronald Reagan played one of the suspects). Leon Lontoc was the only cast member of the episode to reprise his role in the later series.
