Peter Donald

Peter Donald (June 6, 1918 – April 20, 1979) was a British-born actor who worked in American radio and television. He has been called "one of radio's great dialecticians."

Early years

Donald was born in Bristol, England, in 1918. His father (a comedian) and mother (a singer) were performers in Vaudeville. He graduated from the Professional Children's School in New York in 1936.

Radio

Donald first appeared on radio in 1927, playing Tiny Tim in a production of A Christmas Carol. At age 11, he was the announcer for Uncle Olie and His Kne-Mel Gang on CBS. He became an announcer on CBS in 1931.

He was famed as the character of Ajax Cassidy on Fred Allen's radio show, the Irishman who continually complained that he was "not long for this world."

In addition to his long run on "Allen's Alley," Donald was a regular on Radio Reader's Digest, Stage Door Canteen, and We, the People. He was also the host during the 1940s on County Fair and on radio's joke-telling panel program, Can You Top This?
