Actor Born: 1914 Death: 1989 Biography:More familiar for his radio work than his film appearances, American actor "Ben Wright" was active professionally from the early '40s. Dialects were a specialty with Wright, as witness his two-year hitch as Chinese bellhop Hey Boy on the radio version of Have Gun Will Travel. Most of Wright's film roles were supporting or bit appearances in such productions as "A Man Called Peter" (1955), "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (1959), "Judgment at Nuremberg" (1961), "My Fair Lady" (1964), and "The Fortune Cookie" (1964). On TV, Wright was one of "Jack Webb"'s stock company (including fellow radio veterans "Virginia Gregg", "Stacy Harris", and "Vic Perrin") on the '60s version of "Dragnet". "Ben Wright"'s most frequently seen film appearance was as the humorless Nazi functionary Herr Zeller in the 1965 megahit "The Sound of Music". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
