Trivia
Built his home around a pipe organ. Prior to becoming a well known old time radio actor, he had a career as a theatrical and OTR pipe organist. Famous for portraying Professor Moriarty to Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes in Old Time Radio. Best known as TV's original Mr. Wilson in the first Dennis the Menace (1959) TV Series (upon his untimely death, he was replaced by Gale Gordon, who played a relative of Mr. Wilson who moved next door to Dennis, and was similarly driven up the wall by him).
