Frank Marvin Readick Jr. (November 6, 1896, Seattle, Washington — 1965[1]) was an American radio and film actor.[2]
He is well known for his evil laughter followed the introduction from The Shadow radio drama: "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!". Readick replaced James La Curto to impersonate The Shadow narrator in the Detective Story Hour (the precursor of The Shadow) in 1930, several weeks after the launch of the series when La Curto went for a Broadway role.[3] This signature line remained intact in The Shadow even after Orson Welles succeeded Readick.[4][5]
