Beemer became the third radio voice of the Lone Ranger on April 18,
1941, after the death of Earle Graser and remained so until the
series' last new episode on September 3, 1954. During the 13 years
that Beemer played the title character, he was required by contract to
restrict his radio acting to that one role until the program left the
air.The experienced and popular Western film actor, Clayton Moore, was
chosen to take over the role for the television series. Although
Beemer had the right voice and had made many public appearances as the
Ranger, he had no experience as a film actor, as he preferred live
action to television. However, Beemer's voice as the character was so
familiar that Moore imitated his sound in the earliest TV episodes.
