I had no idea that Casey Kasem was an actor in addition to being THE voice of America. I sure miss hearing him on the radio. I, too, grew up listening to the top 40 countdown. I feel sorry for kids these days. They have never had the pleasure of listening to this wonderful man counting down the latest hits.

I grew up listening to Casey Kasem on American Top 40, which made its mark during the 1970s -- the second "golden age of radio." He was, as TIME magazine reported today, "America's voice." R.I.P.

Kasem's acting in all three episodes is excellent. I will admit that when I imagine Kasem's character, Conrad, in "A Scaffold for Two," I imagine Shaggy from Scooby-Doo.

What a voice! I loved American Top 40 and I even listen to it now this year, some things are just timeless. I remember watching Scooby Doo, and had no idea it was Kasem as Shaggy, great to know. Indeed the Voice of America!
