Robert Easton (born November 23, 1930) is an American actor whose career in film and television spans more than 55 years. He also has a number of credits as dialogue or accent coach. His mastery of English dialect has earned him the epithet "The Man of a Thousand Voices", and his coaching services have been in high demand for decades.
Easton was born Robert Easton Burke in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the son of Mary Easton (née Kloes) and John Edward Burke.[1] On film, one of his earliest appearances was in The Red Badge of Courage. On TV, he has appeared in many U.S. shows and also provided the voices of "Phones" and "X-2-0" in Gerry Anderson's Stingray. During the late 40s thru 60s, he was mostly known for his portrayal of a slow-talking, blankfaced hicks (as in The Munsters episode, "All-Star Munster" as Moose Mallory). He also appeared in the feature film, "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," as "Sparks" (a variation on Stingray's "Phones"). But in the Get Smart episode "The Little Black Book", he displayed a crisp German accent as the Maestro. One of his more unusual voices was that of a Klingon judge for the movie, Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country. Recently, he appeared in Gods and Generals as John Janney, and Spiritual Warriors and is in talks to play "God" in the movie Dante's Inferno.
