surprisingly, no one has yet mentioned one of my favorites, The Saint from the TV series (w/ Roger Moore):

Not the Val Kilmer movie, although it wasn't entirely bad.

TRIVIA: don't forget that Vincent Price provided the radio voice for the character, and I can't forget to send Kudos out to the author who dreamed Simon Templar up, Leslie Charteris one of the best pulp fiction writers of his time. Erle Stanley Gardner is my other fave (Perry Mason).

Anyway thanx again Auggie,
