Henry Albert Polic II
Edit ProfileCareer
In 1975, Polic was a regular cast member on the short-lived, Mel Brooks-created television comedy, When Things Were Rotten. In the 1980s, Polic was often seen as a celebrity guest player on various game shows. His most frequent guest spots were on the various incarnations of Pyramid, as he appeared multiple times on The $25,000 Pyramid and the Dick Clark and John Davidson-hosted editions of The $100,000 Pyramid for producer Bob Stewart.
Polic also did various other work for Stewart, hosting the game show Double Talk in 1986, a pilot for a revival of Stewart"s Eye Guess called Eye Q in 1988, and sharing announcing duties with Johnny Gilbert and Dean Goss on the latter edition of The $100,000 Pyramid.
His specialties included foreign and regional accents, ballroom dancing and baritone singing. From the early 1990s until his death, Polic was perhaps best known as the original British-accented voice of the Scarecrow in Batman: The Animated Series.
Originally he had a deep, gruff voice, but later made his voice a bit higher for the role. Polic also worked at Florida State University as a guest star in the School of Theatre"s production of A Christmas Carol, playing Scrooge in 1996.
In addition to his game show appearances, Polic himself hosted Double Talk (1986-1987).
Polic died on August 11, 2013 of cancer. His interment was at National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona.
