Bret Morrison

Bret Morrison (b. 5 May, 1912; d. 25 September, 1978cite web
title=Bret Morrison
work=Voice Chasers
url=http://www.voicechasers.com/database/showactor.php?actorid=3019] ) was an American actor best known as the voice of The Shadow, old-time radio's mysterious crusader for law and order.

He was born in Chicago, Illinois. [ [http://www.radiohof.org/adventuredrama/shadow.html Radio Hall of Fame] ]

Morrison played the Shadow part longer than any other actor, spending 10 years in the role in two separate runs. He was also the final actor to play the part in the program's original radio run. For many, he was the definitive voice of The Shadow, though his delivery was much less sinister – and, some would say, less compelling – than his predecessor, Orson Welles.
