Wallace and Gromit voice actor dies aged 96
British actor Peter Sallis, who voiced cheese-loving inventor Wallace in the Wallace and Gromit cartoons, has died aged 96 at a retirement home for actors in London.
Born in London in 1921, Sallis began his working life in a bank, but caught the acting bug as a Royal Air Force serviceman during World War II.
After the war, he attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and built up a diverse career onstage and in British film and television.
Millions around the world know his voice from animator Nick Park's Wallace and Gromit, which charted the adventures of a cheese-loving Yorkshireman (with a passion for inventing wild contraptions) and his level-headed, silent dog, Gromit.
With their old-fashioned stop-motion animation and lightly anarchic British humour, Park's short films, feature and BBC series gained fans around the world.
Park said Sallis "was always my first and only choice for Wallace".
Two Wallace and Gromit films, The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave, won Academy Awards.

Noddy was my favourite until I found out he was having an "improper" relationship with Big Ears. Never heard of the Gromits.
You a cop or something?
