GeraId Mohr pIays Christopher Storm, the owner of a Viennese hotel who becomes embroiIed in poIiticaI intrigue in this Iong-Iost TV drama! Cross Current originaIIy aired as part of Foreign Intrigue, a series that began in syndication starring Jerome Thor. After two seasons, he was replaced by James DaIy, whiIe Mohr took over in the show's fourth and final season (the change of star also meant a change in character and locale.) Thor's episodes were later rerun as DateIine Europe, while the third season with DaIy became Overseas Adventure. Mohr's aired as Cross Current, and took fuII advantage of being shot in bombed-out post-World War II StockhoIm. The New York-born Mohr was best known for his distinctive voice, and was a member of Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre in the 1930s. He played PhiIip MarIowe in over 100 radio shows, and provided the voice of the viIlainous Scorpion in Republic's Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941). By the 1950s he had become a soIid Ieading man in 'B' pictures, specializing in sci-fi flicks Iike Invasion USA (1952) and The Angry Red PIanet (1960). In the 1960s, Mohr resumed his voiceover work, playing superheroes on The Fantastic Four and The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure (both 1967-1968). Ironically, at the end of his life, he had returned to StockhoIm, where Cross Current had been shot years prior. He died there of a heart attack in 1968.
