That's Jack Angel the way he was usually seen: With a microphone in front of his face. Jack was a lovely man with a magical voice that was heard in hundreds of movies, TV shows, commercials, promos, cartoons, video games…you name it. He was a popular disc jockey in Los Angeles for eighteen years and one of the main promo announcers on NBC for ten. He worked for Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Warner Brothers, Sony…everyone.
When I had him on one of my Cartoon Voices panels at Comic-Con International, the crowd gasped to hear that he'd played several major roles on The Transformers, G.I. Joe and Super Friends…just three of perhaps two hundred cartoon shows where he was heard. He was even the voice of Smokey the Bear for many years.
I could just list all the things Jack was in or I could send you to his IMDB listing which probably covers about 20% of all the jobs he had. Just that 20% will stagger you. And like I said, he was a great guy. Condolences to his wife and agent, Arlene Thornton. He died yesterday at the age of 90.
