    He was the “Man of a Thosand Voices”. Lon Chaney Sr. was the “Man of a Thousand Faces”.
    I hadn’t realized he was ill. RIP

    I remember watching him in the 70′s on game shows like Match Game.

    How about Travalena was the man of 500 voices and a different set of 500 faces? Would that settle it?

    Reports are that Travalena was doing his Michael Jackson impression at the time of his death. Guess he took that one a little too far…
