William T. Woodson (July 16, 1917 – February 22, 2017) was an American film, stage, radio and voice actor, best known for his narration of the radio series This is Your FBI, The Invaders, the animated series Super Friends and all its spin-offs, and the opening of The Odd Couple television series.

1946

From 1946–47, the actor played, what is probably his best-known stage role, Le Bret opposite Jose Ferrer as the title character in Cyrano de Bergerac.

He also appeared as Tom Mackenzie in The Seven Year Itch, Stephen Douglas in The Rivalry and T. Stedman Harder in A Moon for the Misbegotten.

1947

In 1947, he was among the first actors to be accepted to the first class of the newly formed Actors Studio.

He also voiced multiple characters on episodes of several other radio programs such as Suspense, Inheritance and Family Theater.

1953

Woodson had a small live-action appearance in the 1953 sci-fi film The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, as a newscaster.

1959

Another on-screen role was as Sergeant Ed Blankey on the 1959–1960 drama television series This Man Dawson and as Major Dudley in 1960 in an episode of the situation comedy The Tom Ewell Show.

1963

In 1963–1964, he portrayed the ringmaster on the ABC drama The Greatest Show on Earth.

He also narrated for NFL Films.

1964

The commercials humorously referenced 1964 events such as The Beatles' appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show and the introduction of the Ford Mustang.

They were produced by Philadelphia ad agency Earle Palmer Brown & Spiro.

1966

In 1966, he played the Secretary of War in 3 episodes of F Troop.

He played the reporter in Stan Freberg's parody advertisement of Jacobsen Mowers, which were in actuality sheep grazing.

In the satirical ad, he announced: "Jacobsen Mowers. Faster...than sheep!".

In 1967, he became the narrator for The Invaders.

Bill Woodson was also the narrator of NFL Films' official films of Super Bowl II and he also narrated the 1967 NFL Championship Game, better known as the "Ice Bowl".

The longtime voice of NFL Films, John Facenda, had been unavailable.

1970

In the 1970s, Woodson's television work included the opening narrative of The Odd Couple, the narration for the pilot of The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams, and a brief appearance on one episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

1977

In 1977–1978, he was the voice of the sheriff on CB Bears on NBC.

He was also a featured but un-credited voice-over announcer for WKRP In Cincinnati.

It was his voice, inviting the audience to stay tuned for the epilogue for each episode.

He also did a number of voice roles in several episodes, including the pre-recorded announcer of the intro to Les Nessman's newscasts.

1980

Woodson narrated each subsequent Super Friends episode, narrating over 100 episodes, including the 7-minute short subject episodes produced from 1980 to 1983.

Perhaps his most memorable line from the series was the often-used phrase that accompanied a transition to scenes at the Super Friends' headquarters: "Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice..."

1981

Woodson later guest-starred on Garfield and Friends, The Jetsons, Tiny Toon Adventures and Duckman and other shows.

1983

In 1983, the actor served as the narrator for the miniseries adaptation of Herman Wouk's novel The Winds of War, and its sequel miniseries, War and Remembrance also based on the sequel novel.

In this capacity, he would explain to the television audience the large-scale historical events that provide the context for the storylines of the two miniseries.

William Woodson's legacy will be his long association with the Super Friends series, where he served as narrator and sometimes voiced additional characters.

The ads had titles such as "The Minnesota Twins – Get to Know 'Em", "Every Fan Counts", and "This is Twins Territory".

2011

In a 2011 interview, he explained that his pronunciation of the word super as "syuper" rather than "sooper", which is more usual in the U.S., was due to the criticism of his speech he had received in high school.

Wishing to sound more sophisticated, he patterned his speech after that of Ronald Colman.

In addition, he also supplied the opening narration and voice for several characters on Battle of the Planets, as well as playing the sinister tanner in Walt Disney's The Small One.
