For the time being don't click on this YouTube link. Click instead on this mp3 and try to answer the following: (1) Who's the actor?, (2) Who/what is he playing?, (3) What TV show is this from?, and (4) What's The Name of the Episode? Hint: the actor became a hyphenate when he got older.

It's Robert Redford playing Death disguised as a young police officer in the Harold Beldon episode of Twilight Zone.

I should say he plays Harold Beldon but the episode is called Nothing in the Dark.

I got the show right, but I guessed it was Warren Beatty.

I guessed TZ, know I saw the episode, but that's as far as I got. Those early shows were great, low budgets, quality writing and acting and some very inventive directing.

TZ is one of my all-time favorite shows. I love Redford's final speech in the episode and how death is portrayed, not as the Grim Reaper, but as something that is gentle, kind, and (ultimately) liberating.

Redford as death is one of my favorite TZ's

The mp-3 didn't work for me, but I'm guessing Baron Christopher Haden-Guest. He's the only one I can think of who became a hyphenate when he got older.
