My mom's 2nd husband was an audio recording man for advertising.

Can't count the times that a voice came over the radio or on the teevee and I said to friends, "l know that dude!"

Best of those was was in Florida in the early '80s and l said that same thing, about the narrator of some NPR audio play that we were listening to on a road trip...They all looked at me like I was daffy, I told them all his name....At the end of the program, he said something along the lines of "this is Ken Hiller, wishing you a good night".

I bet you've heard his voice at one time or another.

Just looked it up...Ken left us in '16...RIP.

Speaking of voices …… as we landed at Tan Son Nhut air base in Saigon in 1966 the captain came on the loudspeaker and said, “Welcome to Vietnam. On behalf of me and the crew we hope you had a pleasant flight and we look forward to seeing you again on the return flight”. That may not have been his exact words but that’s how I remember it and we all understood that he was wishing us hope that we will survive the 12 months in-country. THE VOICE: Either the captain was doing an excellent imitation of Jimmy Stewart or it really was him. He was, after all, a pilot during WW II. I wonder if I can find out if it really was him?

Probably not.
He was Air Force reserve then and flew bombers still, B-47 and B-52, but had a very busy film career in the 1960s.
...
With his private pilot's skills, he enlisted in the US Army Air Forces during the war, seeking combat duty and rose to be deputy commanding officer of the 2nd Bombardment Wing and commanding the 703d Bombardment Squadron from 1941 to 1947. He later transferred to the Air Force Reserve, and held various command positions until his retirement in 1968 as a brigadier general. James Stewart was promoted to Major General in 1985 by President Ronald Reagan.
