Arthur Anderson, Voice of Lucky Charms Leprechaun, Dead at 93

Arthur Anderson, a versatile actor best known as the voice of Lucky Charms leprechaun, died Saturday at age 93, his friend Craig Wichman confirmed, NBC News reported. 

"They're magically delicious," Anderson declared in an Irish brogue from 1963 to 1992 as the green-coated cartoon character beloved by generations of breakfast cereal eaters.

Anderson already had a successful acting career before he was tapped by General Mills to be one of their mascots. He was born on Aug. 29, 1922, on New York's Staten Island and got his start at age 12 in 1935 on an NBC radio show called "Tony and Gus."
