During Stone's WWII military duty, which started in 1942, the role of
teenage Henry Aldrich on the popular 1939-1953 radio serial was played
by another actor--
Norman Tokar, who later spent many years as a director at Disney--who actually was a teenager (19) and who had
been Stone's longtime understudy. After a few others voiced the role,
Stone resumed the voice in 1945 following his discharge and continued
until 1952, when
Robert Ellis finished out the role into
1953.
