WELCOME, FOOLISH MORTALS: THE LIFE AND VOICES OF PAUL FREES (2nd EXPANDED EDITION)

Paul Frees. You may not know his face, but you've heard his voice as your Ghost Host at Disneyland and Disneyworld's Haunted Mansions. You've heard him as the dastardly Boris Badenov from Bullwinkle J. Moose in the 1959â€“1964 animated television series, ROCKY AND HIS FRIENDS and THE BULLWINKLE SHOW. Youâ€™ve heard him as Professor Ludwig von Drake in THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY. He also provided the voice for The Pillsbury Dougboy, the ape in GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE, half of The Beatles in their cartoon series, the Narrator in THE SHAGGY DOG, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, and other classic films, and thousands of Old Time Radio shows, such as SUSPENSE and ESCAPE. He was heard in many commercials, such as Toucan Sam of Fruit Loops cereal, and he provided voice overs in major films, such as SPARTACUS, PATTON, and hundreds more. He even lent his voice to the original LORD OF THE RINGS, and THE RETURN OF THE KING produced by Rankin/Bass. He was the greatest.

"Great work! Couldn't put it down." -Skip Craig (Bullwinkle writer)

"I never dreamed that anyone would, or could, write an entire book about one of my favorite performers, Paul Frees, but Ben Ohmart has done the near-impossible in this entertaining and informative volume. Frees may not be a household name outside of film buffdom, but his work has been heard by untold millions on the soundtracks of movies, radio and TV shows, cartoons, commercials, and at Disneyland since the late 1940s. He was Boris Badenov, John Beresford Tipton (The Millionaire), and the Pillsbury Dough Boy; he played some of the Pirates of the Caribbean and the ghostly host of Walt Disney's Haunted Mansion. He dubbed everyone from Orson Welles to Toshiro Mifune. In real life, Frees was as outsized as some of the characters he portrayed, a bombastic personality whose arrogant demeanor and tendency to be on all the time masked a lonely and sensitive soul. With the help of Frees' family and colleagues, Ohmart has assembled a surprisingly personal portrait of the man, along with a staggering index of his work. (Old-time radio buffs will have a ball reading his broadcast chronology.) -Leonard Maltin

Author Ohmart is also the proprietor of BearManor Media, which has launched an impressive series of books for film, radio, and TV aficionados. He deserves our thanks and support.
