Favorite Hanna Barbara voice over actors

[zoombie]

Hanna Barbara has had quite a few great voice over actors on their shows. And a number of them became stapples of Hanna Barbara shows, such as Daws Butler, Don Messick, John Stephenson, Janet Waldo, etc.

So who are your favorites? There were many of them that were great, but my favorites has to be the two founding guys, that were in almost every Hanna Barabara show for many decades Daws Butler and Don Messick. It is hard to choice one over the other.

Daws Butler and Don Messick, by FAR!! Both great talents.

I actually got to meet and talk to Don Messick in Oct. 1994. When I realized I was actually goinig to get a chance to talk to him one-on-one, I stood there and my mind went blank. "A thousand questions and nothing to ask". I finally got a few question out. I should have brought a list.

Never met Daws. The closest I could get is a video tape of his PBS documentary special.

Ted Cassidy. He did the big (in more ways than one!)-actor-turned-voice-actor bit before it was cool, and he was good at it. Meteor Man, anybody? Galactus?

Speaking of Galaxy Trio, whoever played Titan, the Titanium Man was sweet.

Ted Cassidy;

Metallis from the Space Ghost series.
Narrator on the Atom Ant opener.
Igoo the Rock Ape from the Herculoids.
And of course, Lurch in the Animated Adams Family series.

That's all I can pull from memory, without doing research.

Well, classic wise, I love Don Messick, Daws Butler, Mel Blanc, Paul Frees, Alan Reed, Scatman.... all those guys. It's a shame Mel Blanc and Paul Frees didn't work together more often.

But more current stuff, I like Charles Adler and Frank Welker among others.
