He also originated the vocal character of Cap’n Crunch and other famous Jay Ward cartoon characters. His significant work with Stan Freberg in the 1950s on The Stan Freberg Show and multimillion-selling records such as “St. George and the Dragonet” are still held in reverence today. He also ran a voice acting workshop for many years. Among his many successful students are Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, and Corey Burton, from Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind.

He has also written essays, television and radio scripts, plays, comedy sketches, and the forward to Creatures of the Night That We Loved So Well. As Tallulah Morehead, he wrote comic essays and reviews in the Huffington Post for two and a half years. As a radio personality in the 1970s, he interviewed such comedy giants as Groucho Marx and Bud Abbott. He lives in Reseda, California, with two cats who do not find him all that amusing.
