Although not a household name even in his day, Langan's warm noir-type narration lent itself nicely to the well-balanced scripts, and his natural chemistry with real-life wife Adele Jurgens (as 'Gal Friday' Carol Curtis) made the show popular with listeners.  He eventually earned a measure of cult star status as the 60-foot hero of the classic sci-fi movie The Amazing Colossal Man.
