Bill Woodson
William T. Woodson (July 16, 1917[citation needed] – February 22, 2017) was an American film, stage, radio and voice actor, best known for his narration of the radio series This is Your FBI, The Invaders, the animated series Super Friends and all its spin-offs beginning with The All New Superfriends Hour, and the opening of The Odd Couple television series.
Before becoming a professional actor, he acted in stock theatre for nearly a decade with his first appearance in a 1928 play.
In 1943, Bill Woodson made his Broadway debut as Lowell Denton in Harriet, starring Helen Hayes. He showed versatility as a performer, proving himself equally capable in classical roles such as that of Montano in the Shubert Theatre's adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello with Paul Robeson in the lead role. From 1946–47, the actor played, what is probably his best-known stage role, Le Bret opposite Jose Ferrer as the title character in Cyrano de Bergerac.
He also appeared as Tom Mackenzie in The Seven Year Itch, Stephen Douglas in The Rivalry and T. Stedman Harder in A Moon for the Misbegotten.
In 1947, he was among the first actors to be accepted to the first class of the newly formed Actors Studio.
Woodson served as the narrator for the crime drama series This is Your FBI from 1948–53 on ABC radio.
He also voiced multiple characters on episodes of several other radio programs such as Suspense, Inheritance and Family Theater.
Woodson had a small live-action appearance in the 1953 sci-fi film The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, as a newscaster. Another on-screen role was as Sergeant Ed Blankey on the 1959–1960 drama television series This Man Dawson and as Major Dudley in 1960 in an episode of the situation comedy The Tom Ewell Show. In 1967, he became the narrator for The Invaders. In 1963–1964, he portrayed the ringmaster on the ABC drama The Greatest Show on Earth. He also narrated for NFL Films.
