Jim Ameche (born August 6, 1915, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, as James Ameche; died February 4, 1983, in Tucson, Arizona) was the younger and probably lesser-known brother of actor Don Ameche. Jim Ameche was radio's original "Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy." For many years he was a popular radio personality in the New York City area. His most famous role was as Alexander Graham Bell in the 1957 film The Story of Mankind, the role his brother Don had played in a film biography of Bell in 1939. The two brothers' faces and voices were a close match. Jim Ameche died in 1983 of undisclosed causes.
