Kent Rogers, cartoon voice

[robcat2075]

You probably didn't know that Kent Rogers did celebrity imitations and other voices for many cartoons in the late 30s/early 40s, probably because voice artists rarely got screen credit back then and when they did, their name got spelled "Mel Blanc."

Here he is in a scene contrived to show off his imitation skills; he would be all of 18 here. He looks like he mighta been a contenda if he had made it to the golden age of "impressionsts", which I peg to when Ed Sullivan had a TV show.

However, that was not to be. Showbiz blogger Mark Evanier has more about him.
