Odd Facts Known by Few

  • Actor Joseph Sirola was once a case worker for the New York City Department of Welfare before becoming perhaps the most successful "voice-over" actor in the history of the profession. His voice has been heard in scores of adverts since the 1960's and one cannot listen to a radio or watch a television in a major market without hearing his distinctive voice.
  • Actor Parley Baer is the voice of "Ernie Keebler" on the Keebler cookies commercials.
