You Know The Voice: Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. (aka David Seville) (1958)

 There was a time when Ross Bagdasarian, the creator of Alvin & The Chipmunks, actually appeared on camera as his alter-ego, David Seville. He had a small part in Alfred Hitchcock's classic suspense thriller, "Rear Window", and landed on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1958 in support of his pre-Chipmunk hit, "Witch Doctor". Sullivan does the intro:


Of course, Alvin arrived on the scene a while later, and appeared in puppet form on the show before getting his own series.
