Look, there in the ground. It’s a worm condo. It’s a compost heap. It’s the Superman announcer.

Jackson Beck, who opened the radio program Superman with a variation on that quote, has died at the age of 92. Although most closely tied with Superman, having provided the voices for villains on the radio program in addition to later voicing his boss Perry White and archenemy Lex Luthor on the 1960s cartoons, Beck also voiced Bluto in more than 300 cartoons and narrated G.I. Joe cartoons in the 1980s. Commercial roles have included Aqua Fresh, Combat roach killer, and the voice of Caesar Jr. in the Little Caesar commercials.
