In another one of his famous order-barking roles, Vernon played straight and ultimately for laughs, embodying the mean Dean in the John Landis 1978 classic college comedy 'Animal House.' Landis originally wanted 'Dragnet' star Jack Webb for the role, but after catching his ' black beard and piercing, blue eyes' in the 1976 Eastwood picture 'The Outlaw Josey Wales,' he knew he had found his Dean Vernon Wormer.īorn Adolphus Raymondus Agopsowicz in Saskatchewan, the Canadian actor first worked his way into British theater, booking his first role as the voice of Big Brother in a 1955 movie version of George Orwell's '1984.' Other well-known works on his lengthy list of credits included the Canadian series 'Wojeck,' the John Boorman 'Dirty Harry' predecessor 'Point Blank,' Hitchcock's 'Topaz,' Siegel's 'The Black Windmill,' 'Airplane II: The Sequel,' and 'I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.' His voice was a natural for ADR work, having played 'Iron Man' in various Marvel cartoons of the 1960s and later as Rupert Thorne on 'Batman: The Animated Series.' His last role was a voiceover for 2008's 'Delgo.'
