He was one of several actors to play neighbor Harry Morton* on The Burns and Allen Show (and its short-lived sequel, The George Burns Show). He was an announcer for NBC in the 1940s, an announcer for ABC radio's This Is Your FBI from 1945 to 1953, and a regular on the short-lived series The Hank McCune Show.
