William T. Woodson (born July 16, 1917) is a retired American voice actor, best known for his narration of the radio series This is Your FBI and the animated series Super Friends and all its spin-offs.
Before becoming a professional actor, he acted in stock theatre for nearly a decade with his first appearance in a 1928 play.
In 1943, Bill Woodson made his Broadway debut as Lowell Denton in Harriet, starring Helen Hayes. He showed versatility as a performer, proving himself equally capable in classical roles such as that of Montano in the Shubert Theatre's adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello with Paul Robeson in the lead role. From 1946-47, the actor played, what is probably his best-known stage role, Le Bret opposite Jose Ferrer as the title character in Cyrano de Bergerac.
He also appeared as Tom Mackenzie in The Seven Year Itch, Stephen Douglas in The Rivalry and T. Stedman Harder in A Moon for the Misbegotten.
In 1947, he was among the first actors to be accepted to the first class of the newly formed Actors Studio.
Woodson served as the narrator for the crime drama series This is Your FBI from 1948-53 on ABC radio.
He also voiced multiple characters on episodes of several other radio programs such as Suspense, Inheritance and Family Theater.
Woodson had a small live-action appearance in the 1953 sci-fi film The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, as a newscaster. Another on-screen role was as Sergeant Ed Blankey on the drama television series This Man Dawson. He also did some of the voice-over work on the 1960s series The Invaders.
