There is an incredible write-up over at WFMU's Beware of the Blog of Walter Tetley, a prolific voice-actor in radio and television best known as the voice of Mr. Peabody's boy sidekick Sherman in the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.
Walter Tetley had the voice of a pre-pubescent schoolboy. Born with a rare hormonal disease that prevented him from fully experiencing the changes that puberty normally brings, Tetley's voice is best remembered today as the bespeckled cartoon nerd Sherman, boy companion to Mister Peabody on The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show. Many would surely be surprised to discover that the brainiac dog's boy companion in all ninety-one segments of Peabody's Improbable History was actually a man in his late forties. Tetley started out as a child actor but few could have predicted he would remain one for over fifty years...
It's true. If you've ever seen a disconcertingly withered pre-pubescent bellboy in a television show or movie and felt what Dr. Gonzo called "the fear" because of him, it was this guy.
