Hmm

Could it be that Bogey listened to someone or maybe is just a nostalgia fan?

But it was on radio in the 40's and even in the 30's <•¿•)>

Three different actors ended up voicing the title role during the show's first three months on the air 1933. The original Ranger was a man named George Stenius who left the role after two and a half months to pursue a career as a writer in New York. (As George Seaton, he would go on to a career in Hollywood as a screenwriter-director-producer, winning two Academy Awards for his screenplays along the way.) Stenius was replaced by Jack Deeds, who lasted only a few days before demonstrating himself to be ill-suited for the job. James Jewell, the station's dramatic director, filled in for one performance before hiring Earle Graser, who took over as the Lone Ranger on 18 April 1933.

Earle Graser was the Lone Ranger on radio for the next eight years, until tragedy struck. On the morning of 8 April 1941, he fell asleep at the wheel of his car and was killed when it slammed into a parked trailer. Graser's death presented two immediate problems to The Lone Ranger's producers: a new actor had to be found fast (the show was broadcast live three days a week; no reruns, and no pre-recorded broadcasts), and the transition had to be handled smoothly to avoid alienating the audience with an abrupt and obvious change in actors. Moreover, the many adolescents in the listening audience had to be reassured that it was not the Lone Ranger himself who had died. Earle Graser was so little-known outside of The Lone Ranger (and received scarcely any publicity even for that role), that his name became almost a footnote in news stories reporting the death of the "Lone Ranger."
