Harve Presnell (September 14, 1933 – June 30, 2009) was an American actor and singer. He began his career in the mid-1950s as a classical baritone, singing with orchestras and opera companies throughout the United States. His career reoriented away from classical music to musical theatre in 1960 after Meredith Willson cast him in the lead role of his new Broadway musical ''The Unsinkable Molly Brown''. His portrayal of "Leadville Johnny" was a resounding success and he reprised the role in the 1964 film version of the musical, winning a Golden Globe Award for his portrayal. Presnell went on to star in a few more films during the 1960s, but by the early 1970s that aspect of his career came to a standstill. From 1970 to 1995 he mostly worked as a musical theatre performer on Broadway, the West End, and in touring productions out of New York. In his early 60s, Presnell saw a resurgence in his movie career which lasted until his death. He played character roles in films like ''Fargo'' (1996), ''Saving Private Ryan'' (1998), and ''Flags of Our Fathers'' (2006). He also appeared on television as Mr. Parker in ''The Pretender'' and Lew Staziak in ''Andy Barker, P.I.''. He had recurring roles on ''Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman'' and ''Dawson's Creek''. ==Early life and classical singing career== Presnell was born as George Harvey Presnell in 1933, in Modesto, California.〔According to the State of California.

He attended the University of Southern California, earning a bachelor's degree in vocal performance. He then pursued further vocal studies in Europe and at the Music Academy of the West. He appeared with a number of opera companies and orchestras during the 1950s. In 1957 he made his debut with the San Francisco Opera as the Officer in Richard Strauss's ''Ariadne auf Naxos''. He went on to sing several more comprimario roles with the company that year, including the Jailer in the United States premiere of Francis Poulenc's ''Dialogues of the Carmelites''. During the late 1950s he made several appearances and recordings with both the Roger Wagner Chorale and the Philadelphia Orchestra, the latter under the baton of Eugene Ormandy.
