Who is Ben Alexander?

Ben is best remembered as Frank Smith, Sgt. Joe Friday's sidekick on Dragnet.

He had a major role in All's Quiet on the Western Front. He was a child actor for many years.

As I recall, his final role was as a police desk sergeant on an ABC show whose name I don't remember. Because he had that role/commitment, he was unable to join with Jack Webb in the resurrection of Dragnet ca. 1968, so Webb got Harry Morgan instead.

Ah, I see...I grew up on the later Dragnet, haven't been that exposed to the old ones, just a few episodes here and there. But yeah, ok, THAT guy!

Ok, who's this?
