Voice of Top Cat, James Stang, dies at 91

Arnold Stang, the American actor known for his nerdy looks and distinctive nasal voice - which he gave to the cartoon character Top Cat - has died.
Stang, 91, died of pneumonia at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Massachusetts on Sunday, said JoAnne Stang, his wife of 60 years.
Stang played alongside Milton Berle on radio and television in the 1950s, starred as Frank Sinatra's sidekick in the 1955 movie The Man with the Golden Arm and was a member of the ensemble comedic cast of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World in 1963.
He also voiced cartoons, including the lead character in the 1960s cartoon Top Cat, and did dozens of commercials.
He appeared in movies alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Cosby and continued acting into his 80s, playing a role in the 1993 movie Dennis the Menace.
The slight and diminutive Stang started his career on the radio as a teenager and never lost his love of the medium.
JoAnne Stang attributed her husband's career longevity to his willingness to tackle any professional challenge.
"He was really unique, because he could perform in any role, comedy or drama. He just loved it all," she said.
"He always thought of himself just as an actor, not any particular kind of actor, but just an actor who would play whatever he was asked to play."
Stang is also survived by son David and daughter Deborah.
Funeral services are private.
