He was an American film, television, and voice actor known for his deep and resonant voice, and is particularly well-remembered in the English-speaking world for his landmark recordings of the entire King James Version of the Bible. He had a long career on the radio spanning five decades and was still a regular cast member in much later radio broadcasts, like my own favorite, CBS Radio Mystery Theater. Many voice overs.. recognizable voice...Did he do some of Victory At Sea? He was my favorite in The Big Heat.
