Hans Conried gave us one of the all-time great Disney villains as Captain Hook, and he was a memorable menace as Snidely Whiplash. But the greatest showcase for his versatility was radio, where he could play a cavalcade of characters with unique accents and personalities. We\'ll hear him as Dr. Miller, the long-suffering psychiatrist of Gracie Allen on\\xa0Maxwell House Coffee Time (originally aired on NBC on December 11, 1947). Then, as Professor Kroptkin on\\xa0My Friend Irma, he enlists Irma and Jane\'s help to find him a temporary bride to finalize an adoption (originally aired on CBS on January 13, 1952).
