Roy L. Conrad (November 11, 1940 – January 18, 2002) was an American actor, best known for his role as the voice actor of Ben in the 1995LucasArts computer gameFull Throttle.

Conrad provided the voice of Ben in theLucasArts computer gameFull Throttle.

Conrad also took smaller film roles in films such asPatch Adams,The Wizard and a role in the 1993 television seriesDr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.

One of the developers ofFull Throttle had this to say when recalling how they cast the part of Ben:

Roy was one of the sweetest guys you'll ever meet, and a joy to work with. It was hilarious to watch him act, and see that stern, gravelly voice of Ben coming out of this gentle, soft-spoken man. Casting Roy was definitely the easiest decision we ever had to make at LucasArts. We had been through boxes of audition tapes without much luck--When you advertise that you're looking for a tough, biker character, you get a lot of guys trying to be tough; Growling, yelling, and forcing a lot of attitude--And then we put in Roy's tape, and out came this effortless, deep, rich, bass sound. And that was that. We didn't even listen to another tape.

Conrad died oflung cancer in 2002 inRoseville, California.
