Paul Edward Prentiss (September 9, 1908 â€" March 18, 1992) was an

actor in the era of old-time radio. He was perhaps best known for

portraying the title role on the radio version of Captain

Midnight.Prentiss was born in Chicago, Illinois. He attended the

University of Iowa.Radio historian Jim Harmon noted, in his book The

Great Radio Heroes, "Ed Prentiss was not the first actor to play

Captain Midnight, contrary to some published reports." After Bill

Bouchey had the role in the program's second season, Prentiss

auditioned for the third season, got the part, and continued as

Captain Midnight for seven years.On The Guiding Light soap opera,

Prentiss played Ned (a "neglected youth") and was the program's

"omniscient host." Beginning in 1943, Prentiss was narrator for an

hour-long block consisting of three soap operas: Today's Children, The

Guiding Light and Woman in White. The three programs had

interconnecting story lines, with Prentiss's narration "introducing

each program segment and linking all three together."
