Subject: Voice of Kellogg's Frosties 'Tony the Tiger' dead aged 64
Written By: Philip Eno on 05/09/14 at 3:58 am
The voice of Tony the Tiger for more than a decade has died aged 64.
Veteran DJ Lee Marshall will be fondly remembered by millions for his two word catchphrase "They're grrrreeeaaat!" used in Kellogg's Frosties adverts.
Marshall, who also had gigs as a wrestling announcer and voice-over actor, died in a hospital in Santa Monica after suffering esophageal cancer.
He was only the second man to voice the famous breakfast-loving character since it hit screens in 1952.
The first 'Tony' was Thurl Ravenscroft who carried on until he was in his 80s.
Marshall helped out when Ravenscroft started having difficulty with dialogue, and took over full-time after Ravenscroft's death in 2005.
His deep, resonant voice got him noticed by radio stations and he become a well-known presenter at stations in Phoenix, San Diego and Los Angeles.
The former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda once quipped: "If God ever wanted to make a speech, Lee Marshall would get the call."
