Announcer for ABC Radio's "This is Your FBI" (1945-1953).
Keating was an immensely popular component of the "Mister Ed" (1958) chemistry, and his sudden death (during the show's third season) came as an enormous shock to not only the tight ensemble cast but the viewing public as well. His absence started the show's steady decline in popularity, despite good work from replacement Jack Albertson, briefly as his brother-in-law, then from Leon Ames, who played Wilbur's former commanding officer in the Air Force.
Larry was an NBC radio announcer in the 1940s.
