He didn't play Shere Khan in the 1967 film


** Apparently his TypeCasting was so well known, that it was even emulated by certain voice actors (eg, Richard Waugh's performance as Albert Wesker from the ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' series was cited to have been based on that of Tony Jay's performance as [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Shere Khan]]). His voice also served as an inspiration for Helmut Bakaitis' performance as The Architect from ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded''.
