Henry Polic II : biography

February 20, 1945 –

Henry Polic II (born February 20, 1945 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is a stage, screen, and voice actor best known for his role as Jerry Silver in the American 1980s television series Webster, as well as his frequent game show appearances on such series as Super Password and The $100,000 Pyramid. His specialties include foreign and regional accents, ballroom dancing and baritone singing.

Since the early 1990s, Polic is perhaps best known as the original British-accented voice of the Scarecrow in Batman: The Animated Series. Originally he had a deep, gruff voice, but later 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 Scrooge in 1996.

In addition to his game show appearances, Polic also hosted his own game show, Double Talk, in 1986.
