Thanks for the info! I've been trying to figure out who he was for ages. He's also in all the old Telecom/Bell "grapplegrommit" spots from the early 80s.

@Parkwaymania - Larry Mann voiced characters in other Rankin-Bass productions. He was Rusty the Tin Man in "Tales of the Wizard of Oz", and Foxy Q. Fiddle in "The New Adventures of Pinocchio".
When Rankin-Bass was just starting out, they came to Canada in search of voice talent, since radio drama was dead in the USA. Bernard Cowan (CBC announcer) became their first voice director (& voice of the spotted elephant & the Bumble, in "Rudolph"), & he rounded up the Canadian voice talent.
