Paul Frees

He became so experienced at doing multiple characters on radio shows that in 1948 he was given his own show, "The Player" in which he would do all of the characters.

Was often called upon in the 1950s and '60s to re-loop the dialogue of other actors, often to correct for foreign accents, complete lack of English proficiency, or poor line readings by non-professionals. These dubs extended from a line to entire roles.

Was also the unseen voice of never-seen TV billionaire character "John Beresford Tipton" on the very popular TV series The Millionaire (1955) starring Marvin Miller.

Got his start in radio doing voice work for dramas and comedies. He was known for his incredible impersonation of Orson Welles. Reportedly he played all of the roles in a 15-minute show called "The Speaker." His work included animation, for which he provided the voices in innumerable cartoons, but notably for such characters as Fox (Frank Tashlin's "Fox & Crow" series), Ludwig Von Drake (numerous educational shorts by Walt Disney Productions), Boris Badenov (Jay Ward's The Bullwinkle Show (1959)), Inspector Fenwick (Ward's The Dudley Do-Right Show (1969)), Morocco Mole (Hanna-Barbera's The Secret Squirrel Show (1965)), Barney Bear (title character from an MGM series of shorts) and was the original voice of the Pillsbury Doughboy.

According to author Peter Guralnick (in "Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley"), Frees was an undercover narcotics agent for the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs in the 1960s.

Provides multiple voices in Flight from Ashiya (1964), getting into three- and four-way conversations with himself.

In the early 1970, he was reportedly making $50,000 a year just for doing the voice work of the Pillsbury Doughboy.

As one of Hollywood's leading voice artists, a significant part of his income came from doing uncredited voice work on a multitude of movie trailers. Not the least of which was Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) and its spoof, Hardware Wars (1978). He also provided the voice of the Ghost Host at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion and for Adventure Thru Innerspace, which has since been replaced by Star Tours: The Adventures Continue (2011).
