Early life

Conried was born on April 15, 1917, in
Baltimore Baltimore is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Maryland. With a population of 585,708 at the 2020 census and estimated at 568,271 in 2024, it is the 30th-most populous U.S. city. The Baltimore metropolitan area is the 20th-large ...

and went on to play major classical roles onstage. This led him into radio in 1937, when he appeared in a supporting role in a broadcast of '' The Taming of the Shrew'' on KECA in Los Angeles, California. Four years later, a newspaper reported about his role on ''Hedda Hopper's Hollywood'': "But at the mike, he's equally convincing as old men, drunks, dialeticians, or Shakesperean tragedians. Miss Hopper favors him for her dramatizations when the script will allow him, as she puts it, 'to have his head.'" Impressed with Conried's versatility, a scout for

as a tank crewman until the army decided he was too tall. He became a heavy mortar crewman then was sent to the Philippines as an engineer laborer until fellow actor Jack Kruschen obtained his release for service with the Armed Forces Radio Network. Conried remained active in radio during the 1940s and 1950s. He was in the regular cast of Orson Welles' '' Ceiling Unlimited'', for which he wrote the December 14, 1942, episode, "War Workers". On '' The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show'', he played a psychiatrist whom George regularly consults for help in dealing with the ditzy Gracie. Conried also provided various characters on the '' The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show'', including portraying one of Phil Harris' writers. Conried was also a regular on the CBS Radio program '' Life with Luigi'', portraying Schultz, a German classmate. He also played occasional dialect roles on CBS's detective series '' Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar''. Even as a younger man, Conried appeared much older than his actual age and he was frequently cast as middle-aged or even elderly pompous, scholarly types. His impeccable diction and inimitable growl were well suited to the roles he played, whether portraying the dim Professor Kropotkin on the radio show '' My Friend Irma'' or as comic villains and mock-sinister or cranky types. In 1949, while filming the movie version of ''My Friend Irma'', character actor Felix Bressart, cast as Professor Kropotkin, died suddenly during production. Conried, who played Kropotkin on radio, stepped in to finish the picture. Most of the finished film features Bressart with Conried's voice overdubbed; Conried appears in a few scenes in identical costume and makeup, with his voice used throughout. Hans Conried's first leading film role was the independent science fiction comedy '' The Twonky'' in 1953. Two years later, Conried appeared as a riverboat gambler in '' Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier''.


Dr. Seuss

Theodor Geisel, better known as children's author Dr. Seuss, was preparing a documentary feature largely made up of captured Japanese newsreel footage, '' Design for Death'' (1948). Geisel hired actor Kent Smith as the "American" narrator, and Hans Conried as the "Japanese" narrator. The film won an

. Geisel remembered Conried when he was preparing an expensive Technicolor fantasy, '' The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.'' (1953), which included the dominant role of a demanding, dictatorial piano teacher. Conried was cast as the foreboding "Dr. Terwilliker" and turned in a bravura performance that might have changed his career. Unfortunately, the film was a costly failure. In 1970, Conried reflected on the film's poor box-office take in an interview with

: "The picture never made its print money back. It was comparable only to '' Wilson'' as one of the great money-losers of all time; it would stop conversation for some years at any Hollywood social gathering." The film's financial failure didn't affect Conried's working relationship with Geisel, who went on to cast him in three Dr. Seuss television specials, including the 1977

in '' How the Grinch Stole Christmas''. In 1981, Conried was set to reprise his role as the Grinch for '' The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat'', but he was in poor health and died early in 1982. Voice actor Bob Holt took over the role.


Cartoons

Conried's colorful voice gained him much work in animated cartoons, such as

Conried also became a charter member of the Jay Ward- Bill Scott stock company. He voiced the character of Snidely Whiplash in the Dudley Do-Right segments of '' The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show'', and Professor Waldo P. Wigglesworth on ''Hoppity Hooper''. Ward and Scott also cast him as the live-action host of '' Fractured Flickers'', a wildly satirical, tongue-in-cheek redub of silent movies. During that show he had a tightly scripted segment where he absurdly interviewed guest stars and celebrities, while usually mistaking their identities, misunderstanding answers, taking umbrage or getting into mock disagreements. He also voiced Wally Walrus on '' The Woody Woodpecker Show'' and Dr. Dred on '' Drak Pack''. According to the DVD commentary of '' Futurama'', he was the inspiration for the voice created for Robot Devil.


Television

From 1955 to 1964, Conried made 19 guest appearances as "Uncle Tonoose" in '' Make Room for Daddy'' on ABC and then CBS, and four appearances as other characters. He was featured in the 1958 episode, "What Makes Opera Grand?", on the anthology series '' Omnibus''. The episode, an analysis by
