The Voice Of "Top Cat" And The "Chunky" Candy Commercials Has Died


Boston, Mass -- He was the nerdy-looking guy most famous for being the voice of "Top Cat" in the animated series of the '60s. But there are plenty of other projects Arnold Stang is known for. He was in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" and "The Man with the Golden Arm." He co-starred in Arnold Schwarzenegger's first big movie, "Hercules in New York." Stang was the voice of the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee and appeared in several commercials for the chocolate candy Chunky. He ended each ad with the phrase, "What a chunk of chocolate!" Stang has now died of pneumonia. He was 91.

4. Weird stuff....
"Re-enactors"?? Of this film? Wow...

These films made at the end of the studio era are remaarkable...some brilliant like this one, some fairly terrible like How The West Was Won, but what a great opportunity to see all these folks in one place, as it were...
