Bob Bailey - The Johnny Dollar


Bob Bailey, the quintessential voice of Johnny Dollar, moved to Hollywood in the early 1940's and made several movies for 20th Century-Fox. His first two films, which featured him prominently, were with Laurel and Hardy (The Jitterbugs, 1943 and The Dancing Masters, 1943). Bob also played a supporting role in "A Wing and a Prayer" (1944), with Don Ameche. According to his daughter, Bob also appeared in "Tampico" (1943), "The Eve of St. Mark" (1944), "Ladies of Washington" (1944), and "Sunday Dinner for a Soldier (1944).

According to the International Movie Database (IMDB) Bob appeared in a number of movies and television programs both before and while he was playing Johnny Dollar. These include:
