	Actors - Jack Sheldon

Jack Sheldon (b. November 30, 1931) is an American jazz trumpeter, singer, and actor.

Sheldon was born in Jacksonville, Florida. He originally became known through his participation in the West Coast jazz movement of the 1950s, performing and recording with such figures as Art Pepper, Gerry Mulligan and Curtis Counce.

In the 1960s Sheldon starred in his own TV series, Run Buddy Run, and led the band on the Merv Griffin TV show.

He is perhaps best known to mainstream TV audiences as the voice of some of the popular Schoolhouse Rock cartoons of the early 1970s, such as "Conjunction Junction" and "I'm Just A Bill."

Jack Sheldon also appeared in a documentary film about the life of fellow jazz trumpeter Chet Baker called Let's Get Lost.

As of 2006, Sheldon is still active and performing.
