Biography

Noted thespian, Vigran, erstwhile a law school graduate, opted to forsake the hallowed halls of academia in favor of a life in the spotlight, and thus embarked upon a prolific career in acting.

Throughout his illustrious tenure, he had the privilege of sharing the airwaves with a veritable who's who of comedic luminaries, including the inimitable Jack Benny, the irrepressible Bob Hope, and the inimitable Jimmy Durante, with whom he collaborated on numerous radio productions.

In addition to his extensive work in radio, Vigran also made a significant impact on the small screen, frequently assuming the role of various nefarious characters on the iconic TV series "Adventures of Superman," which debuted in 1952.

Furthermore, his impressive repertoire of characters extended to a variety of television programs, including the beloved "The Brady Bunch," which premiered in 1969, and the classic sitcom "I Love Lucy," which first aired in 1951.
