Created in 1934 by American mystery writer Rex Stout, Nero Wolfe is one of the very most iconic private investigators in crime fiction. As Watson have for Holmes, Archie Goodwin, Wolfe's confidential associate, narrates the cases of the detective genius. Wolfe was an armchair detective who seldom still left his luxurious brownstone in New York, so Archie would acquire the reality and report back again. Wolfe would probably not have considered on many cases had he not needed his client's money to cover his two true passions: fine food and his orchid collection. Nero Wolfe first appeared on radio on July 5, 1943, in a short-lived NBC series starring Santos Ortega as Wolfe, with Luis Van Rooten as Archie. The next series aired during 1945 on the Mutual network and starred Francis X. Bushman, with Elliott Lewis as Archie. The 3rd and most successful incarnation arrived to radio in 1950. It starred Sydney Greenstreet as Wolfe, with the part of Archie voiced by several stars, including Lawrence Dobkin, Gerald Mohr, and Harry Bartell.
