A Golden Voice

Each episode of Adventures of Superman began with a narrator proclaiming, “Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap buildings in a single bound!” The voice behind the iconic lines was none other than a veteran radio announcer named Bill Kennedy. Bill also happened to be an actor under contract with Warner Brothers Studios. One of his most well-known roles is in Joan of Arc where Joan is played by Ingrid Bergman. He is the character who sets poor Joan on fire! In addition to providing the iconic narration, he also appeared in several episodes. He played a racetrack announcer in several of them.
