Bud Collyer
Bud Collyer (June 18, 1908 – September 8, 1969) was an American radio actor/announcer who became one of the nation's first major television game show stars. He is best remembered for his work as the first host of the TV game show ''To Tell the Truth'', but he was also famous in the roles of Clark Kent/Superman on radio and in animated shorts.
==Early life and career==
Collyer was born Clayton Johnson Heermance, Jr. in New York City, to Clayton Johnson Heermance and Caroline Collyer. He originally sought a career in law, attending Williams College where he was a member of Psi Upsilon fraternity,〔As listed in The Diamond, Psi Upsilon's national magazine〕 and Fordham University law school.〔("Bud Collyer Dies; Host Of TV Shows; Ran 'Beat the Clock,' 'To Tell the Truth,' 'Break the Bank'" ), ''The New York Times'' (September 9, 1969)〕 Though he became a law clerk after his graduation, making as much in a month of radio as he did in a year of clerking convinced him to make broadcasting his career, changing his surname and becoming a familiar voice on all three major radio networks by 1940.
Among others, his radio roles included ''The Man I Married'' (Adam Waring),〔 〕 ''Kate Hopkins, Angel of Mercy'' (Tom), ''Pretty Kitty Kelly'' (Michael Conway) ''Terry and the Pirates'' (Pat Ryan), ''Renfrew of the Mounted'' (the title role), and ''Abie's Irish Rose'' (the title role, again), not to mention announcing for a number of radio soap operas—including ''The Guiding Light'' and ''The Goldbergs'', which was actually a serial comedy with dramatic overtones.
Collyer's best-remembered radio role arrived in early 1940: the title role in ''The Adventures of Superman'' on the Mutual Broadcasting System, a role he performed in the 1940s radio drama and subsequent ''Superman'' cartoons. Collyer supplied the voices of both Superman and his alter ego Clark Kent opposite radio actress Joan Alexander as Lois Lane. A highlight of every Superman episode was the moment when Clark Kent changed into his Superman costume, an effect which Collyer conveyed by shifting voices while speaking the immortal phrase "This is (or "looks like") a job ''for SUPERMAN!!''" (Collyer's voice shifted by an octave whenever he made the transition from the one identity to the other.)
