A few postings ago, a little man in a cameo movie appearance was identified as Arthur Q. Bryan. He was a popular voice on radio, mostly in the 40’s, but thanks to TV he’s best remembered today as the voice of cartoon character Elmer Fudd.
For a brief time, director Bob Clampett made Fudd look like Lou Costello, but then wisely returned to Tex Avery’s previous design, patterning Fudd more after Arthur Q. Bryan himself.
Bryan is shown in this photo with Artie Auerbach, who is playing Father Time, in a publicity photo for the Al Pearce Radio Gang show. Pearce was very popular in his day, but now seems to be largely forgotten.
