Celebrities That Only Do Radio or Voiceover Work Now

[thechase]

Been thinking a bit about shows like Traffic Cops/Road Wars and remembering how they're almost always narrated by Jaime Theakston, who was a huge presence on BBC television in the 90s hosting Live & Kicking and Top of the Pops. Nowadays he just does those aforementioned road shows and is on regional radio.



It's easy to turn this into a voice acting thread, but let's make it a little challenging and talk about celebs that you only know these days for radio or voice over work for syndicated mishap shows.

Sam Elliott seems to be doing this now, especially as the new voice of Smokey Bear.

I don't remember the guy's name, and he's no longer with us, but that guy that used to do movie trailer voice overs. Only time I remember seeing him on camera was a Geico commercial or something.

Since his stroke a few years ago, Tim Curry has stuck to doing voice over work.

I know people say Don, but another trailer voice-over guy that is no longer with us is Ben Hurst, though he's better remembered for his stint as head writer on the SATAM version of Sonic The Hedgehog
