Johnny Midnight is an American crime drama that aired for one season in syndication[1] from January 3, 1960, to September 21, 1960.
O'Brien portrayed Johnny Midnight, a New York City actor turned private detective.
Midnight's cases frequently focused upon Times Square and Broadway, where he had triumphed earlier on stage.
[2] O'Brien said that he took the role after turning down other offers to star in TV series because the show "had a concept and setting totally different from anything in the mystery-adventure field.
[5] The supporting cast included Arthur Batanides as Sergeant Lupo Olvera, Barney Phillips as Lieutenant Sam Geller, and Yuki Shimoda as Uki, Midnight's wise-cracking Japanese manservant.
