Description
For the first two and half years of Dragnet, Sgt. Joe Friday was partnered with Ben Romero, an older mentor and family man voiced by radio veteran Barton Yarborough. With his friendly Texas drawl, Yarborough created a memorable character and a good counterpart to Friday’s terse, no-nonsense style. We’ll hear Yarborough in action as Ben Romero, alongside Jack Webb as Joe Friday, in “The Big Picture” (originally aired on NBC on December 7, 1950) and “The Big In-Laws” (originally aired on NBC on August 23, 1951).
