Vic Perrin

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

Vic Perrin (26 April 1916 – 4 July 1989; age 73), an actor from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, United States, began acting on radio in the 1940s, with his earliest known network role coming in 1946 as announcer on The Hollywood Music Hall. He became a frequent heavy on the radio version of the Western series Gunsmoke (along with Lawrence Dobkin), in addition to regular roles on One Man's Family and Fort Laramie. Over the next 40 years, he appeared in almost 40 movies and television series, about a hundred television guest appearances, and innumerable radio broadcasts. Fans of the early television series Dragnet may remember him as a regular guest star in a variety of roles. Fans of the 1960s cartoon Jonny Quest may remember him as the voice of the evil Dr. Zin. His facility with voices, the result of his radio background, earned him a number of voice-only roles, including multiple appearances on the original Star Trek. Arguably his most famous such role was as the Control Voice on both seasons of The Outer Limits (1963 – 1965), for which he provided opening and closing commentary on each episode.
