One thing science fiction cannot stop is the progress of time. The original airing of Alien Worlds in January 1979 is moving farther and farther into the past. Sadly, we continue to lose more of its cast and creators every year.
This page attempts to list, in one place, all of the people who participated in the creation of the radio program. Some of the former members can be found through google searches, others are harder to track down. Spellings of names may also be inaccurate. I would be happy to fix any inaccuracies in this page, should they be reported.
Complete cast and crew were not listed in every episode. In season one, the cast was only listed in the part 2 credits. In some episodes, some extras were billed only as "The Watermark Players". That is unfortunate that everyone was not fully credited. In the episodes where credits were listed in only part two of the episode, it is assumed the player was in both parts of the episode.
In all of the people researched here, except for Lee Hanson, no mention of being part of Alien Worlds could be found in the biographies.

| Richard Holmes | Conductor | 30 | Not credited in any of the episodes. Listed in Broadcast
Programming & Production January 1979. Considering he
conducted the score, it makes sense to credit him as participating
in all 30 episodes. 24 IMDB Credits https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0392019/ |
|
| Dick Lewzey | Born: 1943 | Engineer | 30 | Not credited in any of the episodes. Listed in Broadcast
Programming & Production January 1979. It is assumed from
the article that Mr. Lewzey performed the mixing of the orchestral
score that was then used in the show. If that assumption is true,
then it makes sense to credit him as participating in all 30
episodes. 76 IMDB credits https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0507938/ |
