I watched "Being From Another Planet" last night and looked for him as
"Reporter". Since the movie was made 25 years ago, I didn't recognize him
or his voice. My best guess is that he was the reporter that gave the TV
broadcast of the news of the press conference by the campus president (James
Karen). The president is sitting on the couch trying to relax with a drink
and listening to the report (and Crow says: "I gotta get cable".)

Thanks! I believe the sequence you're talking about starts around
3:52 at
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwtZnJqn43Q>. I think it does sound
like him!
He has another appearance earlier, but he doesn't speak then.

It's just too bad that he never appeared at a ConventioCon. "Castle
of Fu Manchu" could have probably used a good voiceover intro! ;-)
