Hans Conried

Hans Georg Conried, Jr. was an American actor, voice actor, and comedian, who was best known for his roles as Snidley Whiplash in the Dudley Do Right cartoons, the Grinch in Halloween is Grinch Night, Dr. Terwilliker in The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T, and as the host of the Fractured Flickers.
For Disney, he provided the voice and served as a model for both Captain Hook and George Darling in Peter Pan. He also voiced both Thomas Jefferson and a crook in Ben and Me, a prosecutor in The Story of Anyburg, U.S.A., and later auditioned and served as a live-action model for King Stefan in Sleeping Beauty, though the vocal part was taken by Taylor Holmes in the finished version. Conried went on to play the Magic Mirror in some of Walt Disney's television programs. In another television episode called The Goofy Success Story, he voiced J.B., the studio mogul. Additionally, he played Professor Whatley in The Shaggy D.A., Bigger-Than-Life in "Major Effects", and Chief Dr. Heffel in The Cat from Outer Space. He was also a guest for "Mickey's 50".
He remained active until his death from a heart attack on January 5, 1982, at the age of only 64.

==Trivia==
*He was considered to voice King Stefan in Sleeping Beauty; but while he still did live action reference for the character and provided some additional voice work, the truth regarding the herald's voice actor will never be known or confirmed by the studio, because Conried himself was later replaced with Taylor Holmes as Stefan for the film's final cut.
*He was considered to voice Shere Khan in The Jungle Book, along with several actors, until that role was taken by the late George Sanders.
*He was also considered for the role of Barnaby in Babes in Toyland, along with several actors, until Ray Bogler was chosen.
*Though little to no sources confirm this, it can be noted that his physical appearance was likely the inspiration for Judge Claude Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and possibly for Queen Uberta's head butler, Lord Rogers in Richard Rich's The Swan Princess.
