Carl Banas (born January 23, 1929) is a Canadian retired radio personality and actor, known for his voice roles in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) and The Raccoons (1980-1992). As a television actor, he appeared in the series Wojeck as police detective Byron James,[1] and provided voices for numerous TV series and features. He was also known as a radio personality on Toronto radio stations CKFM-FM and MIX 99.9 (currently known as Virgin Radio 999) in the 1970s and 1980s. He mainly hosted weekday evenings, and was known for his deep voice, smooth manner and vignettes about Toronto featured during his show.[2] Additionally, he performed live readings of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol every year before Christmas, utilizing his voice skills to play multiple characters. One such performance was recorded and published by Polydor Records under the title Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and Other Yuletide Favorites.[3]
In 1987, Banas moved to CJEZ 97.3 "Easy 97" (later known as 97.3 EZ Rock and currently as "Boom 97.3") where he continued hosting weekday evenings until he left the station and retired from radio.
