     then came to TV ten years later in this Syndicated series 
     produced for distribution by NBC Films;

     Charles McGraw had been in many motion pictures before and
     after including "The Killers", "Spartacus" and "Cimarron";

    "Casablanca" (1955 - 1956) in the character of Rick; He 
     also had a role on the detective drama "Staccato" (1959)
