Jack Curtis (voice actor)

Jack Curtis, Jr. (June 16, 1926 – September 1970) was an American voice actor, director, producer, writer and editor.

He was born in Queens, New York, the son of theatrical agent Jack Curtis and vaudeville dancer Mabel Ford.

His half sister was actress Beatrice Curtis (1901-1963), whose first husband was the vaudevillian actor Harry Fox of the dance the foxtrot.

Curtis was hired to dub voices for the anime series Speed Racer[2] by his longtime friend Peter Fernandez.

In September 1970, at the age of 44, Curtis died of pneumonia that he contracted in the hospital, which could not be treated as he was allergic to penicillin, the only antidote in 1970.
