Herbert "Herb" Vigran (June 5, 1910 – November 29, 1986) was a well-known American character actor in Hollywood from the 1930s to the 1980s. Over his 50-year career, he made over 350 television and film appearances.

Vigran's family moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he grew up. He graduated with a law degree from Indiana University Law School but later chose to pursue acting.
After starting out on Broadway, he soon moved to Hollywood with no money[1] and only the Broadway acting experience. In 1939, Vigran's agent helped him secure a lead in the radio drama Silver Theatre. The actor had a $5 recording made of the radio show and used it as a demo to get other jobs with his unique voice.[1] He performed in radio shows with the likes of Jack Benny,[2][3] Bob Hope, Lucille Ball and Jimmy Durante.[4] He later had hundreds of television appearances on shows like Adventures of Superman (six episodes), Dragnet, The Brady Bunch. He appeared in a number of I Love Lucy episodes, and in the 1954 episode titled Lucy Is Envious, Vigran is the promoter who hired Lucy and Ethel to dress up as "Women From Mars" for a publicity stunt.[5][6] With his bushy eyebrows and balding pate, he was easily cast in a wide variety of middle-aged "everyman" roles: cops, small-time crooks, judges, jurors, bartenders, repairmen, neighbors, shopkeepers, etc.[7]
In the rock and roll movie Go, Johnny, Go (1959), Vigran played an assistant to promoter Alan Freed and performed dialogue scenes with rock legend Chuck Berry.[8] He also provided the voice of "Whitney's boss" on the Arrowhead bottled-water television (animated) and radio commercials in the 1960s.
In 1952, Vigran married the former Belle Pasternack. The couple had two sons.[1]
Vigran was active up until his death from cancer on November 29, 1986 in Los Angeles. He was cremated.
