... as Tharn

Born in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, United States, on 26 April 1916, Vic Perrin began acting on radio in the 1940s, with his earliest known network role coming in 1946 as announcer on The Hollywood Music Hall, and would become a frequent heavy on the radio version of the Western series Gunsmoke. 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. He died on 4 July 1989, in Los Angeles, California.
