Valentine Dyall(1908-1985)
- Actor
He could have been described as the "British Vincent Price". This
distinguished actor was probably best known for his voice work. His
low, resonant and mellifluous tones were employed to chill and excite
for at least half a century. His most famous radio role was as "The Man
In Black", back in the late 1940s, but he was making radio appearances
as late as 1980 in "The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy", and
undoubtedly later, and was in the BBC Television Shakespeare in the
year of his death, at 77.
