MASON ADAMS 1919-2005

Saddened to hear of the passing of actor Mason Adams.

He voiced Grandpa in Richard Williams' RAGGEDY ANN & ANDY animated feature and was best known for his role as the editor Charlie Hume on the series LOU GRANT. Adams had a great voice (heard in many, many commercials) and was prolific in the golden age of radio drama. My favorite role of his was as "Atom Man" on the SUPERMAN radio show (I highly recommend the Radio Spirits CDs). It's too bad he didn't do more animation voice work.
