Eddie Carroll - RIP

The voice of an iconic cartoon character departs.

The voice of Disney's Jiminy Cricket -- actor Eddie Carroll -- has died of a brain tumor in California at age 76, his wife says.

Carroll, who was also known for his stage tribute to comic Jack Benney, died Tuesday at the Motion Picture and Television Fund Hospital in Woodland Hills, his wife, Carolyn, told the Los Angeles Times ...

It's tough to be a "sound alike" to a personality who puts his stamp on a cartoon character, but Mr. Carroll did it stylishly.
