[He was everywhere](https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1152&bih=697&q=larry+d.+mann&oq=larry+d.+mann&gs_l=img.3..0.2250.4344.0.4547.13.12.0.0.0.0.219.1313.0j4j3.7.0....0...1ac.1.32.img..6.7.1313.1McFwDrhoSw) in bit parts in the 1960s and 1970s, but his most noteworthy role is probably the voice of Yukon.

He was also a regular on Canadian television - most Canucks would remember him from “Wayne and Shuster” and the Bell ads that he did in the 1980s. Here’s the [CBC obit](http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/larry-d-mann-veteran-actor-dies-at-91-1.2486422), which expands a bit from the MSNBC one. May he rest in peace. ---

A quick search shows he was in **The Sting**. Who was he in The Sting? I wondered. The Conductor (“That’ll get you first alternate, sir!”) I probably saw him in a lot of things, but I don’t think I’d have recognized him. He seems to have done a lot of voice work (including voicing The Tin Man for cartoons. Twice.) ---

When I was a kid, I was watching the the 1960s movie “The Perils of Pauline,” there’s a scene in it with some Middle Eastern prince (probably about 10 years old). I remember thinking to myself, “He sounds just like Rocky (the squirrel).” 40 years later, I get to watch it again on one of the cable outlets, and I find that there are a fair number of uncredited roles in it. In one scene the prince’s father is bellowing, and I remember thinking, “That’s Yukon Cornelius!” And, I was also right about the prince. June Foray supplied his dubbed voice.
