'''Hans Georg Conried Jr.''' (April 15, 1917 – January 5, 1982) was an American actor and comedian. He was known for providing the voices of [[George Darling (Peter Pan character)|George Darling]] and [[Captain Hook]] in [[Walt Disney]]'s ''[[Peter Pan (1953 film)|Peter Pan]]'' (1953), [[Snidely Whiplash]] in [[Jay Ward]]'s ''[[Dudley Do-Right]]'' cartoons, Professor Waldo P. Wigglesworth in Ward's ''[[Hoppity Hooper]]'' cartoons, was host of Ward's live-action "[[Fractured Flickers]]" show and Professor Kropotkin on the radio and film versions of ''[[My Friend Irma (radio-TV)|My Friend Irma]]''. He also appeared as Uncle Tonoose on [[Danny Thomas]]' sitcom ''[[The Danny Thomas Show|Make Room for Daddy]]'', twice on ''[[I Love Lucy]]'', and as the Mad Hatter along with [[Daws Butler]], Dolores Starr, [[Stanley Adams (actor)|Stanley Adams]], [[Frank C. Baxter|Francis Condie Baxter]] and Cheryl Callaway in ''The Alphabet Conspiracy'' (1959).

==Early life==
Conried was born on April 15, 1917, in [[Baltimore]], [[Maryland]], to parents Edith Beryl (née Gildersleeve) and Hans Georg Conried. His Connecticut-born mother was a descendant of [[Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]], and his father was a Jewish immigrant from Vienna, Austria.<ref name="book1">{{cite book| last=Gargiulo| first=Suzanne| author2=Leonard Maltin| title=Hans Conried: a biography| publisher=McFarland| year=2002| pages=9–10| isbn=0-7864-1338-7}}</ref> He was raised in Baltimore and in New York City.{{Citation needed |date=October 2023}}

==Career==
Conried studied acting at [[Columbia University]] 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 [[KABC (AM)|KECA]] in Los Angeles, California.<ref>{{cite news| title=Toscanini Will Conduct Vienna Orchestra on Air| url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/2339301/the_san_bernardino_county_sun/| newspaper=The San Bernardino County Sun| date=July 26, 1937| page=11| via=[[Newspapers.com]]| access-date=May 2, 2015}} {{Open access}}</ref> 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. [[Hedda Hopper|Miss Hopper]] favors him for her dramatizations when the script will allow him, as she puts it, 'to have his head.'"<ref>{{cite news| title=Shirley Temple on Air Tonight| url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/2343010/belvidere_daily_republican/| work=Belvidere Daily Republican| date=January 27, 1941| page=5| via=Newspapers.com| access-date=May 3, 2015}} {{Open access}}</ref> 
Impressed with Conried's versatility,  a scout for [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] signed him as a character player in 1938.{{Citation needed |date=October 2023}}

Conried's early screen roles were incidental bits, usually comic but sometimes shady or cowardly, depending on the context. He stayed with MGM until 1941, then began freelancing. His first major featured role was at [[Columbia Pictures]] as a worldly, architectural visionary who disrupted the household in ''[[Blondie (comic strip)#Film|Blondie's Blessed Event]]'' (1942). That established him as a comic figure in feature films. His Germanic surname got him cast as enemy agents in many wartime films, and he became a dialect specialist.{{Citation needed |date=October 2023}}

During [[World War II]], Conried enlisted in the [[United States Army|U.S. Army]] in September 1944.<ref>National Archives and Records Administration. ''U.S. World War II Army Enlistment Records, 1938-1946'' [database on-line]. Provo, UT, US: The Generations Network, Inc., 2005.</ref> He trained at [[Fort Knox]] as a tank crewman until the army decided he was too tall. He became a [[M2 4.2-inch mortar|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]].<ref>Gargiulo, Suzanne. ''Hans Conried: A Biography; With a Filmography and a Listing of Radio, Television, Stage and Voice Work'', page 46. McFarland, August 22, 2002.</ref>

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".<ref>[[Orson Welles|Welles, Orson]], and [[Peter Bogdanovich]], edited by [[Jonathan Rosenbaum]], ''This Is Orson Welles''. New York: HarperCollins Publishers 1992 {{ISBN|0-06-016616-9}} page 375</ref> 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 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 (radio-TV)|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.{{Citation needed |date=October 2023}}

Hans Conried's first leading film role was the independent science fiction comedy ''[[The Twonky]]'' in 1953.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Twonky (1953)|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307090045/http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/17361/The-Twonky/articles.html|archive-date=7 March 2016|url-status=live |quote=Conried was interviewed in 1970 and said that he told [[Arch Oboler|Oboler]] during production of The Twonky that he was worried that the film was not working and that it would bomb at the box office. According to Conried, the producer replied, "That's all right. I need a tax write-off this year anyway." - no doubt to offset the enormous profits reaped from [[Bwana Devil]].|url=https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/17361/the-twonky#articles-reviews}}</ref> Two years later, Conried appeared as a riverboat gambler in ''[[Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier]]''.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Maltin |first1=Leonard |title=The Disney Films |publisher=Bonanza Books |page=122}}</ref>

==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 [[Academy Award]].{{Citation needed |date=October 2023}}

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 [[Leonard Maltin]]: "The picture never made its print money back. It was comparable only to ''[[Wilson (1944 film)|Wilson]]'' as one of the great money-losers of all time; it would stop conversation for some years at any Hollywood social gathering."<ref>Hans Conried to Leonard Maltin, reprinted in ''The Real Stars'', New York: Curtis Books, 1973, p. 84.</ref>

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 [[Halloween]] TV special ''[[Halloween is Grinch Night]]'', produced by [[DePatie-Freleng Enterprises]]. Conried voiced both the Narrator and the [[Grinch]], a role originated in 1966 by [[Boris Karloff]] in ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (TV special)|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 (actor)|Bob Holt]] took over the role.

==Cartoons==
Conried's colorful voice gained him much work in animated cartoons, such as [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] and [[Jay Ward]]. His prominent work for Disney was in [[Walt Disney]]'s ''[[Peter Pan (1953 film)|Peter Pan]]'' as both [[Captain Hook]] and Mr. Darling (following the tradition of having both characters portrayed by the same actor). He then went on to pose live-action reference and audition for [[Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)|Aurora]]'s father, [[List of Disney's Sleeping Beauty characters#King Stefan|King Stefan]], in another Disney animated film, ''[[Sleeping Beauty (1959 film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'', but the voice role of Stefan was officially taken by [[Taylor Holmes]] for the film's final cut. Nevertheless, Conried hosted several episodes of ''[[Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color]]'' as the [[Magic Mirror (Snow White)|Magic Mirror]] from ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]''.

He supplied the storybook narration for [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM]]'s ''[[Johann Mouse]]'', the 1952 [[Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film|Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoons]], the seventh and last Oscar given to a ''Tom and Jerry'' short.

Conried also became a charter member of the [[Jay Ward]]-[[Bill Scott (voice actor)|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==
[[File:Hans Conried Uncle Tonoose Danny Thomas Show 1959.JPG|thumb|Conried as the grumpy Uncle Tonoose, a recurring role he played on ''[[The Danny Thomas Show|Make Room for Daddy]]'']]
From 1955 to 1964, Conried made 19 guest appearances as "Uncle Tonoose" in ''[[The Danny Thomas Show|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 (U.S. TV series)|Omnibus]]''. The episode, an analysis by [[Leonard Bernstein]], showing the powerful effect of music in opera, featured Conried as Marcello in a spoken dramatization of Act III of Puccini's ''[[La Bohème]]''. The program demonstrated the effect of the music in ''La Bohème'' by having actors speak portions of the libretto in English, followed by opera singers singing the same lines in the original Italian.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0664962/ What Makes Opera Grand? Omnibus (1952–1961)Season 6, Episode 27]. Accessed online December 14, 2019.</ref>

Conried was a regular guest on [[Jack Paar]]'s ''[[The Tonight Show|Tonight Show]]'' from 1959 to 1962. He was a regular panelist on the pantomime program ''[[Stump the Stars]]'' and a semi-regular guest on the [[Ernie Kovacs]]-hosted game show ''[[Take a Good Look (TV series)|Take a Good Look]]''.

In 1977, Conried joined the cast for the second and final season of ''[[The Tony Randall Show]]'' in the recurring role of Judge Franklin's irascible father, Wyatt.

His many guest appearances included ''[[I Love Lucy]]'', ''[[Davy Crockett (miniseries)|Davy Crockett]]'', ''[[The Californians (TV series)|The Californians]]'', ''[[Hey, Jeannie!]]'', ''[[Meet Mr. McNutley|The Ray Milland Show]]'', ''[[The DuPont Show with June Allyson]]'', ''[[The Real McCoys]]'', ''[[Mister Ed]]'', ''[[The Islanders (TV series)|The Islanders]]'', ''[[Ben Casey]]'', ''[[Dr. Kildare (TV series)|Dr. Kildare]]'', ''[[Lost in Space]]'', ''[[Daniel Boone (1964 TV series)|Daniel Boone]]'', ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies]]'', ''[[The Lucy Show]]'', ''[[The Monkees (TV series)|The Monkees]]'', ''[[Have Gun – Will Travel]]'', ''[[Love, American Style]]'', ''[[Here's Lucy]]'', ''[[Kolchak: The Night Stalker|Kolchak]]'', ''[[Alice (American TV series)|Alice]]'', ''[[Laverne & Shirley]]'', ''[[The Love Boat]]'', ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]'', ''[[Match Game]]'', ''[[Maverick (TV series)|Maverick]]'', ''[[The Donna Reed Show]]'', ''[[Fantasy Island]]''  and ''[[Quark (TV series)|Quark]]''. On ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'', he appeared in two episodes as the confused pilot Wrong Way Feldman, one of the show's few recurring characters.
===Stage appearances===
Conried made his Broadway debut in the Cole Porter musical ''[[Can-Can (musical)|Can-Can]],''<ref>{{cite news |date=1953-03-07 |title=Delmar to return to radio |newspaper=Billboard |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OgsEAAAAMBAJ&q=my%20friend%20irma%20kenny%20delmar&pg=PA14 |access-date=2015-03-26}}</ref> where he played a struggling artist and sang two musical numbers.<ref>Liner notes for the cast album of ''Can-Can'', Broadway Angel Records</ref> In 1971, he appeared in ''[[70, Girls, 70]]'' and two years later was a replacement performer in the revival of ''[[Irene (musical)#Later productions|Irene]]'' starring [[Debbie Reynolds]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Hans G.
