Biography
Staats Cotsworth was an American actor whose career was centered on radio, where he became known for the title role in Casey, Crime Photographer. Born in Oak Park, Illinois, he trained as an artist, earning a diploma from the Pennsylvania Museum's School of Industrial Art in 1929, and he also painted, exhibiting work at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
