Born Edward Eleniak, Eddie Carroll was a Canadian actor who took over the voice of Jiminy Cricket in 1973 and voiced the character for almost 40 years until his death in 2010. Carroll made guest appearances on a variety of television shows in the 1960s, including Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., Mission: Impossible and The Andy Griffith Show. Thanks to his striking resemblance to Jack Benny, Carroll began performing a one-man tribute show to Benny in 1983.
