Best Answer

Yes, Paul Frees.

Frees was often called upon in the 1950s and 1960s to "re-loop" the dialogue of other actors, often to correct for foreign accents, lack of English proficiency, or poor line readings by non-professionals. These dubs extended from a few lines to entire roles. This can be noticed rather clearly in the film Midwaywhere Frees reads for Toshirō Mifune's performance as Admiral Yamamoto.

Who named Utah beach?

The COSSAC staff (Chief of Staff to the Supreme Allied Commander) had begun planning the Normandy invasion even before Eisenhower was named Supreme Commander. They initially designated the American beaches X and Y. Rear Admiral Alan G. Kirk, commanding the Western Naval Task Force supporting them, suggested they be called OMAHA and OREGON, names familiar to Americans and not easily confused in voice transmissions. Somehow OREGON became transmuted into UTAH.

What were the cons of dropping the atomic bomb on hiroshima?

Pro: To save millions of Japanese lives, millions of Allied lives including the Reds who were ready to invade Japan. That is what the atomic bombs did accomplish. Some Japanese say it was better to lose some of their own rather than be wiped off the face of the earth by the Reds, Americans, Canadians and Australians.Con: They killed hundreds of thousands of people with the bombing, radiation fallout and subsequent infections and cancerous diseases derived from the radiation poisoning. Atomic bombs are not militarily proper to use.Thoughts to consider: The military leaders for the next 6 decades have never lobbed one of their nuclear missiles knowing they would wipe out 1/3 of the earth with one of the modern nuclear missiles. That would not include the amount of deaths afterward. So did they learn from the atomic bombing of World War 2?The military warriors of the Red Army, US Army, The Marines, The Royal Forces all say they are extremely grateful for the atomic bombs finally motivating Emperor Hirohito to surrender. Had Hirohito not surrendered it is likely a good eighty percent of the Russians, Americans, Brits, Canadians and Australians would have died right alongside the Japanese military and civilians. Many of the warriors have gone up to the developers of the atomic bombs and thanked them. There have been Japanese civilians who were so relieved it was over and mourned the loss of the Japanese who had to die just to get Hirohito to finally end the war. The Japanese civilians did not have any "power of the voice" to motivate their leaders to stop the war.
