Pete Arbogast
- Actor
The voice of USC football does his most important work for an audience of one. Pete Arbogast, the longtime Trojans football radio announcer who answers to a higher play-calling. His most important listeners never know his name. His most important words are often the last they hear.
Arbogast, 63, is a volunteer in the Providence St. John's No One Dies Alone program, a nationwide service that offers companionship to dying patients.
He is a broadcasting icon whose full-time job is not in broadcasting. He is the director of youth sports for the Santa Monica YMCA. When he's not providing the soundtrack for USC football games - for which he is paid on a per-game basis - he runs recreation basketball leagues and chaperones kids at summer camps.
Arbogast has been the radio announcer for more USC football games than anybody, passing the great Tom Kelly after Kelly began splitting his time between television and radio. "He's become an iconic figure in USC sports history,'' said John Jackson, his partner in the booth.
