TRIVIA:

His first professional voice work came while working on the 1964 movie "Gunfighters of Casa Grande". He filled in for a voice actor in a radio promo. This led to more voice work; by the 1970s, he was one of Hollywood's busiest voice talents.
Recorded as many as 25 voice-over sessions in a single day and over 100 separate spots in a day.
Father, with 'Nita Whitaker' (qv), of Christine, Skye and Elyse.
Was imitated by comedian 'Pablo Francisco' (qv).
Did voice-over work for over 40 years.
His is the voice you hear on the majority of the trailers/previews at movie theaters nationwide. His body of work included voice over narrations for at least 5,000 film trailers and possibly as many as half a million TV and radio spots.
In interviews he stated that his voice spontaneously cracked in mid-sentence at the age of 13. He became very self-conscious about his "new" voice until his classmates at school would pay him to speak as their fathers to make "sick calls" on their behalf so they could take a day off from school.
His agent is 'Vanessa Gilbert' (qv).
