Years active
1929–1934
Johnny Murray was an American voice actor. Before 1929, he was a cornetist at the Cocoanut Grove. In 1929, he was under a contract with First National Pictures to sing for Richard Barthelmess in his films; he provided Barthelmess's voice in Weary River.[1] He is most famous today for his role as Bosko, the first star of Warner Brothers cartoons.[2] He was the voice actor for Bosko in the 1933 short, Bosko's Picture Show.[2] This cartoon is infamous for perhaps containing the first cartoon depiction of Adolf Hitler, and possibly of being among the first, if not first, widely distributed films that contain verbal usage of the f-bomb.[citation needed] If that is the case, Murray is the first person to use the f-bomb in Hollywood cinema.[original research?]
