David Ogden Stiers


Can anyone tell me what role D.O.S played in this movie ? Was he suppose to be the 'voice' ?

reply

I think that David played the trouble maker, what eventually got electrocuted through tuching a glass surface. I'd love to know the physics of THAT.

That was Ty Olsson who played Yarley(the smart aleck guy). I am pretty sure the David Ogden Stiers played the voice. I was watching MASH the other night and am almost convinced he did the voiceover.

I think the voice over was done by Steven Tobolovsky, it certainly isn't David Ogden Stiers. (If you're not sure how he sounds 'normally', as opposed to the tone/accent he adopted to play his role in MASH, go here http://www.usanetwork.com/series/thedeadzone/seejohnnysworld/fivequestionsfor/stiers.html and click on any of the video clips.)
The imdb listing for this under DOS' name has changed - it used to show the version he appeared in as a 'miniseries'. So I think it's an imdb error to list his name here.

The voice is Rene Auberjonois.

Thank you, that was bothering me. I kept thinking Sam Waterson. Good old Rene. And I just listened to an audiobook he did, too. D'oh!
