Alex Dreier, a rare case of a well-known radio and TV news reporter and commentator turned actor late in life. Born in 1916, he graduated from Stanford University in 1939 and became a newsman shortly afterwards. His first assignment was as a correspondent for the United Press in Berlin. Put under surveillance by the Gestapo, Dreier managed to leave one day before Pearl Harbor. After this narrow escape, he worked regularly with NBC and ABC as a reporter, commentator and anchor. Aged fifty, he opted for acting and, for over ten years, performed character roles in 25 movies or TV series episodes, the best of which being 'The Boston Strangler' (Richard Fleischer, 1968) and 'The Carey Treatment' (Blake Edwards, 1972).
