Frank Graham began his acting career in Seattle, appearing on stage and in radio productions, before being brought to Hollywood in 1937 to join KNX Radio. Prior to his Hollywood debut, he had married Dorothy Jack of Seattle just two years prior. Graham quickly established himself as a talented radio personality, starring in the popular CBS show "Night Cap Yarns" from 1938 to 1942 and serving as the announcer for numerous programs, including those featuring Ginny Simms, Rudy Vallee, and Nelson Eddy.
In addition to his radio work, Graham made a name for himself in the world of film, starring in the 1943 live-action movie "Cosmo Jones, Crime Smasher," which was based on a radio program on which he had served as a writer. Graham also lent his voice to numerous animated films, working with studios such as Walt Disney, MGM, Columbia, and Warner Bros. He voiced the Wolf in Tex Avery's "Droopy" cartoons, as well as the Mouse in "King-Size Canary" at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Furthermore, he provided the voices of the Fox and Crow in the eponymous-named shorts at Columbia.
Tragically, Graham's life was cut short when he was found dead at the age of 35 in the carport of his Los Angeles home on September 2, 1950. A coroner's investigation determined that he had committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning.
