Biography
Ted Knight was an American actor. Ted Knight has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to Television, at 6671 Hollywood Boulevard.
During the postwar years, Knight studied acting in Hartford, Connecticut. He became proficient with puppets and ventriloquism, which led to steady work as a TV kiddie-show host. Knight spent most of the 1950s and 1960s doing commercial voice-overs and essaying minor TV and movie roles (he was the nonspeaking cop who was guarding Norman Bates at the end of Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960)). Knight's distinctive speaking voice brought him work as an announcer -- he narrated several animated television series including Super Friends -- and he appeared frequently in TV shows such as "Bonanza", "Combat!", "Get Smart", "Twilight Zone", "The Wild Wild West", and "The Love Boat".
