Kenny Delmar

Kenny Delmar

Kenneth Howard "Kenny" Delmar (b. September 5 1910, Boston, Massachusetts - d. July 14 1984, Stamford, Connecticut) was an American actor active in radio, film, and animation media.

Delmar is notable for, among other jobs, his reading the role of Senator Claghorn on Fred Allen's radio program, which he did while also serving as the show's regular announcer. The role was a major influence on the Warner Brothers' cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn.

Delmar was also a well-utilised cartoon voice talent whose voice was familiar to baby-boomers as 'Commander McBragg', The Hunter, and other Saturday morning cartoon icons.

In the infamous 1938 broadcast of Orson Welles' adaptation of "The War of the Worlds", he played the voice of the unnamed Secretary of the Interior, who, on Welles' direction, sounded suspiciously like then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
