Background
Dr. Samuel "Sam" Brant is an ophthalmologist in Los Angeles, California.
During the events of X: The Man with X-Ray Eyes (1963) played by Harold J. Stone
Dr. James Xavier is at the office of Dr. Brant getting his eyesight checked. Dr. Brant tells him his eyesight is good and then figures out Dr. Xavier plans on experimenting on himself. Dr. Xavier tells Dr. Brant that he wants to see more of the visual wave spectrum. Dr. Xavier goes to Dr. Brant and convinces him to help apply experimental eye drops using himself as a guinea pig. Dr. Brant administers the eye drops and afterwards Dr. Xavier is able to see through a sheet of paper to read the page below it. He is also able to see items below Dr. Brant's lab coat. Dr. Xavier gives himself another dose, but screams from all of the light. Dr. Brant and Dr. Diane Fairfax represent Dr. Xavier at the meeting of the Foundation and Dr. Brant tells them Dr. Xavier has been unconscious since the experiment. He and Dr. Fairfax try to explain the importance of Dr. Xavier's work, but Mr. Bowhead cuts his funding. Dr. Brant and Dr. Fairfax take Dr. Xavier to Dr. Brant's office and his eyes are tested again. Dr. Xavier and Dr. Brant argue about Dr. Xavier continuing his experiment and as Dr. Brant tries to use a sedative on him, Dr. Xavier pushes him out the window and Dr. Brant falls to his death.
