Looking far younger than he really was, American supporting actor Walter Tetley (born Walter Tetzlaff) gained early fame on the NBC radio broadcast The Great Gildersleeve before making his screen debut as one of Freddie Bartholomew's co-conspirators in MGM's Lord Jeff (1938). Memorable as the boy with the candy cane in W.C. Fields' You Can't Cheat an Honest Man (1939), the diminutive Tetley was also in Boy Slaves (1939) and played scores of messengers, elevator operators, and newsboys in films ranging from Horror Island (1941) to Casanova Brown (1944). Tetley later emerged as a popular voiceover artist, most famously supplying the voice of Sherman on television's Bullwinkle Show (1961-1973). Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
