John Edward Kassir (Cryptkeeper) was born on October 24, 1957 in Baltimore, Maryland. He is known for being the voice of The Crypt Keeper on Tales from the Crypt (1989) and Tales from the Cryptkeeper (1993). His big break came in 1983, when he was the comedy champion on Star Search, edging out Sinbad and Rosie O'Donnell for the $100,000 prize. Beyond that, he was the voice of Elliot in Pete's Dragon (2016) and Scrooge McDuck from 2016-2018, and actually appeared on camera (at least partially) in another muddled, broken production with angry, moping script doctor Jeff Hause called Pirate Camp (2007) in which he played Blackbeard's head. As a side (legal) note, he also recorded his "Crypt Keeper" voice for use in the Jekyll & Hyde Club in New York, New York. He is of Syrian and Iraqi descent.
