Henry Polic II

Henry Polic II (February 20, 1945-August 11, 2013) was an American stage, screen, and voice actor, game show player and host, and was best known as Jerry Silver on the 1980s ABC sitcom Webster.

He made frequent game show appearances on Super Password and The $100,000 Pyramid. In addition to his game show appearances, Polic himself has hosted the short-lived ABC daytime game show called Double Talk from 1986 until 1987. His specialties included foreign and regional accents, ballroom dancing and baritone singing.

From the early 1990s until his death in 2013, Polic was perhaps best known as the original British-accented voice of Scarecrow in Batman: The Animated Series. Originally, he had a deep, gruff voice, but later in the show's run he made his voice a bit higher for the role. Polic also worked at Florida State University as a guest star in the School of Theatre's production of A Christmas Carol, playing as Ebenezer Scrooge in 1996.

Polic died on August 11, 2013 at the age of 68 due to cancer.
