*The narrator of How the Grinch Stole Christmas is the American actor Boris Karloff. Karloff was a well-known voice actor who was particularly famous for his role as the titular character in the classic 1931 horror film, Frankenstein. He also voiced characters in various other films and cartoons throughout the 20th century, including How the Grinch Stole Christmas. His deep and dramatic voice was perfectly suited to the role of the Grinch, bringing his cruel and misanthropic nature to life.*
