Welcome back! My guess is Yul Brinner (although I have no idea how to spell his nam). Mary Martin recommended him to narrate "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"? ;)
That was my guess. I had zero idea he was Russian. I have always preferred his performance of Rameses to Moses...but that may be because of Nefretiri swooning over Moses.
Correct! Yul Brynner.
Mary Martin recommended him for the role of the king in The King and I, silly girl!
