PAUL FREES: THE RANKIN/BASS voice actor

The late Paul Frees did a HUGE body of voice acting in his career BUT his favorite Producers to work for were Jay Ward and Arthur Rankin, Jr.. In fact, Arthur and Paul became very close friends. Paul has the distinction of being in the most RANKIN/BASS Productions of any actor and will be remembered for characters like the BURGERMEISTER MEISTERBURGER, the traffic cop in FROSTY THE SNOWMAN, Many Santa Claus voices including the one in HERE COMES PETER COTTONTAIL, Ali and the kings in THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY, just to name a few. Paul was an amazing talent!
