I have a feeling that many prefer the first actor they saw portray CC. Regardless, I will always prefer Sidney Toler, since the others all seemed much too passive and obsequious to be a police lieutenant,
and not in control of the situation. Actually, Toler was for many many years the only CC that I was aware of. His were the films I saw on the TV during the 1950s.

I had forgotten for years that the first Chan movie I saw was Murder Over New York with Toler.

My favorite Chan - and Chan movie for that matter - was Warner Oland in CC's Secret.

Go figure.
