Olan Soule - one of those familiar faces

Olan Soule was a busy actor on radio and then translated his fame into a familiar face among character actors on television and the movies. He was the star of the First Nighter and Grand Marquee radio programs. Andy Griffith fans will recognize him as the choir director who had to deal with Barney Fife’s voice.

Soule was married in 1929 to Norma Miller, and they stayed married for 63 years until her death.
