Trivia
| • |
A regular on 1960s TV sitcoms as eggheaded foils to Lucille Ball and many others, playing official types. |
| • |
One of the finest animated voice artists in the business, Oppenhemer has provided many famous cartoon voices including Mighty Mouse, Skeletor, and Ming the Merciless, among hundreds of others over a four-decade career. |
| • |
On the short-lived sitcom He & She, Oppenheimer played an accountant by the unlikely name of Murray Mouse. This was most likely an inside joke in light of his most famous role--as the voice of Mighty Mouse. He also did a guest appearance on Happy Days as Mickey Malph, which sounds like Mickey Mouse. |

Has three children. |
