Cliff Harrington

Clifford Harrington (June 18, 1932 – August 9, 2013) was a Tokyo-based American voice actor who primarily did dubbing work for Frontier Enterprises.

Born in Seattle, Washington on June 18, 1932, military life eventually brought Harrington to Japan where he would end up teaching English for 35 years.

He is perhaps best known for his brief appearance as Al in King Kong vs. Godzilla, and by happenstance ended up dubbing the voice of the helicopter pilot he sat next to (in the Japanese version).

[1] Harrington dubbed many films via William Ross and Frontier Enterprises, spending countless hours in recording studios working with Japanese technicians.

According to Richard Nieskens, Harrington eventually began to show up less and less around the late 1980s and early 1990s, having grown bored of the process after so many decades.
