Christopher Lee was the first actor to play the Captain (the Ahab figure) in Ray's LEVIATHAN '99, produced as a BBC radio play in 1968.

I believe Lee was also Ray's first choice for Mr Dark when he was developing the film version of SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES in the mid-1970s.

Bugs Bunny's father, Mel Blanc, was born on this day in 1908. (Truly a father of 1000 plus children we have all come to love.)
