English: The longest-running and best known radio incarnation of Simon Templar was Vincent Price, who played the character in a long-running series that was broadcast between 1947 and 1951 on no fewer than three networks: CBS, Mutual and NBC. After Price left the series in May 1951, he was replaced by Tom Conway, who played the role for several more months. (His brother, George Sanders, played Templar on film.)
In an early 1970s interview about his work on radio, Vincent Price had this to say about portraying The Saint, "Each week I had to come up with a new way to sound when I would inevitably be hit on the head."
