[AI-Generated Summary] Actor Ken Howard discusses his role as Dave Barrett (referred to as Dave Burt early in the transcript) in the depression-era series The Manhunter. Howard describes his character as a "rough hewn" man of the land and a "folklore hero" who provides a stark contrast to more polished television detectives like Kojak or Cannon. Standing at six feet six inches, Howard notes how his physical stature has influenced his career, which transitioned from stage comedy in New York to action-adventure television. He also shares personal details regarding his marriage to actress Louise Sorel, whom he met while performing the play Child's Play, and expresses his appreciation for working with producer Quinn Martin. While the specific city and state of the broadcast are not explicitly stated in the transcript, the mention of "TV 11" and the "world of show business in California" provides a general geographical context for the production.
