Hans Conried
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans Conried (April 15, 1917 – January 5, 1982) was a comic character actor and voice actor.
Born Hans Georg Conried, Jr. in Baltimore, Maryland of Jewish descent, his most important single year was 1953, in which he made his Broadway debut in Can-Can and received screen credit in six films (among them The Twonky). Other Broadway productions include 70, Girls, 70 and Irene.
Conried's inimitable growl and impeccable diction were perfectly suited for portraying comic villains and other mock-sinister or cranky types, such as Captain Hook (and Mr. Darling) in Walt Disney's Peter Pan and the Grinch from Dr. Seuss' Grinch Night.
Conried also was a cast member of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, voicing the character of Snidely Whiplash in the Dudley Do-Right shorts. He was well known as the Williams family patriarch, Uncle Tonoose, on the sitcom Make Room for Daddy.
Conried died from cardiovascular disease at the age of 64.
