I got a great letter this week...

"I remember watching a documentary, I believe it was about Rod Serling, & on it was mentioned a Western series the producer had developed, starring Lloyd Bridges & Brock Peters. Any idea what this show was called? Or, was it maybe Gene Roddenberry's show? Thanks for the help! Steve Atwell"

This is one of those questions that is a real pleasure to answer because I get to spend a few hours researching and watching clips of the show.

The show in question is called The Loner and was extremely cool. It starred Lloyd Bridges as an ex-Civil War soldier who rode through the West encountering people and situations that you rarely saw in TV westerns.

While Brock Peters wasn't a regular on the show, he did star in a particularly moving episode. This clip from Rod Serling: Submitted for your Approval, a brilliant documentary about Serling, features that episode.

Now for this week's question...

Who is the only actor that Rod Serling ever had a conversation with on The Twilight Zone?

Well done, Toby! Kennan Wynn is the correct answer.
