Biography

Danny Web was an American voice and film actor, active in Hollywood from 1935-1951. The son of a Hungarian-born furrier, by the time he arrived in Hollywood in 1935, he was already a seasoned radio comedian. A series of clever celebrity impersonations on the 'Burns & Allen' show led to gigs as a celebrity impersonator in Charles Mintz's Screen Gems cartoons. The short, bespectacled comic simultaneously worked at Columbia, Metro and, most importantly, for Warner Brothers. He worked in the US Army Signal Corps during WWII, and after returned to radio and local television.
