Percy Rodriguez (né Rodrigues; June 13, 1918 – September 6, 2007) was a Canadian actor and voice actor. Known for his rich and distinctive voice, he was one of the few black actors in the 1960s who were able to circumvent restrictive and negative stereotypes. He managed to avoid the stereotypical roles given to black actors at the time and was known for applying and projecting quiet authority and inner calm during his roles, as well as for the touch of grey in his hair. Rodriguez was also known for his extensive voiceover work as the narrator of film trailers, television spots and documentaries.
