An internet-connected (and thus hackable) device that listens 24/7. What could go wrong? I could understand this craze better if the benefits weren’t so utterly marginal compared to the risks.
I just had this very type of question and I don’t have an Alexa. Wikipedia was able to tell me that the guy I was thinking of was Dave Willock. (And the woman whose name I forgot while I was unsuccessfully trying to think of Dave was Jean Porter.)
I think I remember seeing Gabby Hayes on a talk show once where he told the story of how he got his distinctive gravely voice. As a child he was running with something (I can’t remember if it was scissors or a stick, one of those things your mother always tells you not to run or play with) and he fell and stuck the thing through his throat.

I think the person he is looking for is Gregg Palmer. (I Googled “Guy with a beard in John Wayne movie”.)

I have Alexa on my Fire TV. It only “listens” when I hold down the microphone button on the remote.

My guess would be Arthur Hunnicut, who played Bull in El Dorado….

[BEEP] The actor is Edgar Buchanan, who played the elderly layabout Bunny who kept hitting John Wayne up for money in the classic “McClintock!” [BEEP]
