My goodness, I had no idea these two familiar faces were THAT familiar! (My mind, too, went right to Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany, cringe...)

For the record, I am an atheist but was raised Roman Catholic (i.e. the One True Faith). Also, Hong would not have played the man called X as he was an American secret agent (a la Bond James Bond) named Ken Thurston. Herbert Marshall played Thurston on the radio. I presume he played him on the tv series but don’t know for certain as I have only heard the radio series.
Steve
I hope you do cover Steve Canyon on a future episode. You will be surprised at how good it is. They showed it on US Decades channel not long ago. You will see many 1950s aircraft and air force bases with the full cooperation of the US Air Force. At the time, it had the highest budget of any show on US TV. Why it was canceled is an interesting story but I'll let you research that. Many good episodes but don't miss "Operation Intercept" ( episode 26)
