Personal life and career

Harry Lang was born on December 29, 1894 in New York City, New York. He made his film debut in the 1929 Vitaphone short, Who's Who?, in which he and partner Bernice Haley performed an early version of Who's on First?[1]

He provided vocal effects for Tom in the Tom and Jerry cartoons from 1940 to 1943,[2] and occasionally did the speaking voice for Tom from 1944 to 1953.

In 1946, he was cast as Pancho in The Cisco Kid radio series, opposite Jack Mather in the title role.[3]

In 1953, Lang fell ill with heart trouble and was forced to leave The Cisco Kid. After a brief return to the show, he died from a heart attack on August 3, 1953 in Hollywood, California. Mel Blanc replaced him as Pancho until the series ended in 1956.[3]

gollark: * sells, and wow.
gollark: Like how XYZ Luxury sells elytra for something like 800KST while Sellshop buys them for 200KST.
gollark: While there's not an exact normal price, it's usually easy to tell if a price is very far above or below the common range.
gollark: Sellshop is buying at amazing profit margins though, I must say.
gollark: Even if we accept that equilibrium prices aren't quite real, there is still a widely accepted price range.
