This seems to be one of the only real reason people prefer the KJV, they think it reads like shakespere.
He was one of the translators.....
O he WAS,was he?
Here is a list that I did some research on some 20 odd years back.

The Selection & The Committees
It's Inception & Execution:
Obviously enouph men pushed for another revision of the English
Bible simply
because they had private aims.A good example is Hugh Brouton,a
Puritan Hebraist
that wasn't chosen & so speaks out against the work.
Approximately 50 Hebrew and Greek scholars were chosen & appionted
for the
translation.The reveision work consisted of six groups;three groups
with two
committees.The three places were Oxford,Cambridge,& Westminster.They
each had
Committees.
King James divided the men into six panels;three of them to work
on the Old
Testament,two on the new Testament,and one for the Apocrapha.
The Three Heads & Groups.
The Head of the two Oxford groups was Dr.John Hardinge,Regius
Professor of
Hebrew.His group included Dr.John reynolds,the originator of the
project.
The Head of the two Cambridge groups was Edward Lively,Regius
Professor of
Hebrew,but he died in 1605 before the work really got under way.His
successor was
Dr.Robert Spalding.
Finally,the Head of the two groups at Westminster was Lancelot
Andrews,Dean of
Westminster.
Besides being Heads of the groups,these three men were Heads of
their own
Hebrew group,for the other three groups had heads also; the two Greek
groups of the New Testament & the final one for the Apocrapha.

*****************************
All of the preceding names,two rise above all the rest as to their
monumental work
in the revision.Both Downes & Bois contributed to almost the whole
work,& still did
much work with the works of Chrysostom.
Even though Bancroft wasn't involved in the actual work,he did
write a list of 15 rules
to be adhered to,which he sent to the King.
*******
I don't see his name anywhere,do you.I think your bold print is a bit over rated?
