Chicago, Illinois, USA:
Kenneth Mars (4. April 1935 – 12. Februar 2011) war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler. Er spielte in zwei Filmen von Mel Brooks mit: als der geisteskranke Nazi-Dramatiker Franz Liebkind in „The Producers“ (1967) und als Polizeikommissar Hans Wilhelm Friedrich Kemp in „Young Frankenstein“ (1974). Außerdem war er in Peter Bogdanovichs „Is’ was, Doc?“ (1972) sowie in Woody Allens „Radio Days“ (1987) und „Shadows and Fog“ (1991) zu sehen. In zwei Staffeln von „Malcolm mittendrin“ verkörperte Mars Otto Mannkusser, Francis’ gutmütigen, aber etwas begriffsstutzigen Chef und deutschen Einwanderer, der eine Gästeranch besitzt. Er lieh König Triton, Arielles Vater, in Disneys Animationsfilm „Die kleine Meerjungfrau“ (1989) und dessen Fortsetzung sowie in der dazugehörigen Fernsehserie und der „Kingdom Hearts“-Reihe seine Stimme. Er übernahm auch diverse andere Sprechrollen in animierten Filmen, wie zum Beispiel Littlefoots Großvater in der Serie "In einem Land vor unserer Zeit" (bis 2008), Professor Screweyes in "Wir sind zurück! Eine Dinosauriergeschichte" (1993) und König Colbert (Prinz Cornelius' Vater) in "Däumelinchen" (1994).
