Hans Conried
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans Georg Conried, Jr. (April 15, 1917 – January 5, 1982) was a comic character actor and voice actor born in Baltimore, Maryland of Jewish descent.
His inimitable growl and impeccable diction were perfectly suited for portraying comic villains and other mock-sinister or cranky types, such as Captain Hook from Disney's Peter Pan, and the Grinch from Dr. Seuss' Grinch Night.
His most important single year was 1953, in which he played major roles in three films listed below. He was also a member of the cast of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, voicing the character of Snidely Whiplash in the Dudley Do-Right shorts.
Conried died from cardiovascular disease at the age of 64.
