Before he was one of seven castaways stranded on\xa0Gilligan's Island, Jim Backus showed off his dramatic chops in two episodes of\xa0Suspense. Backus leaves Mr. Magoo behind - first as a blind man marked for death by the mob in "See How He Runs" (originally aired on CBS on April 19, 1959). Then - co-starring with his wife Henny - he plays a man plunging deeper into mental illness in "Pages from a Diary" (originally aired on CBS on August 19, 1962). We'll also hear him as Alan Young's haughty romantic rival in an episode of\xa0The Alan Young Show (originally aired on NBC on May 16, 1947) and as a tailor with an unusual problem in\xa0Richard Diamond, Private Detective (originally aired on ABC on February 9, 1951).
