Timeline

1911

Nicholas Benton Alexander III (June 27, 1911 – July 5, 1969) was an American motion picture actor, who started out as a child actor in 1916.

He is best remembered for his role as Officer Frank Smith in the Dragnet franchise.

1930

After a number of silent films, he retired from screen work, but came back for the World War I classic, All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), in which Alexander received good notices as an adult actor as "Kemmerich", the tragic amputation victim.

1939

Alexander also acted on radio, playing Philip West in the 1939–40 soap opera Brenthouse on the Blue Network.

1940

He found a new career as a successful radio announcer in the late 1940s, including a stint on The Martin and Lewis Show.

1950

From October 1950 to January 1951, Alexander hosted Party Time at Club Roma, a nightly late-night television show on NBC described as "part Truth or Consequences-type stunt show and part talent contest".

In the mid-1950s, Ben Alexander's Dream House Motel was located at 1815 North Cahuenga Blvd. in Hollywood.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Alexander ran a talent show for young people out of Oakland, The Ben Alexander Talent Show which was broadcast on Oakland's KTVU TV, a local station in the San Francisco Bay Area.

1952

In 1952, Jack Webb, actor-producer-director of Dragnet, needed a replacement for Barton Yarborough, who had played Detective Romero opposite Webb's Sgt. Joe Friday.

Webb selected Alexander, but had to wait until he was available.

A few actors filled in as Friday's partners until Alexander appeared in the newly created role of Officer Frank Smith, first in the radio series, then reprised the role in film and on television.

1953

Alexander owned and operated the Ben Alexander Ford car dealership in the Highland Park neighborhood of northeast Los Angeles, from around 1953 until his death in 1969, along with the Ben Alexander Ford car delership in San Francisco, which was formed in 1959.

1959

The popular series ran until 1959.

1960

In 1960, he was a semi-regular panelist on Ernie Kovacs' offbeat game show Take a Good Look.

1966

When Webb revived it in 1966, he wanted Alexander to rejoin him, but Alexander had just signed to play the role of Sgt. Dan Briggs on the weekly ABC series Felony Squad.

1969

On July 5, 1969, Alexander was found dead as the result of a massive heart attack in his Los Angeles home when his wife and children returned from a camping trip.

He was cremated.
