Oh, no, it was a very powerful kitty. Cute as a button, too, but potent and EVIL.
No, he didn’t. While he did do voices for the 1986 revival of Quest, he never did the voice of Hadji. That was career voice actor Rob Paulsen, who’s better-known as Pinky of Pinky and the Brain.
Supposedly yeah, that’s the one. If you play with the audio a bit, it does sound a lot like Nimoy.
To be fair, Susan Blu (who did the voice of Arcee in the movie, and is now a voice director herself) has publically stated that Welles did all of his lines himself. Given that he died just a few days after recording for the movie began, I’m a bit skeptical…
All the cast members of Star Trek: TOS did the voices on the Star Trek cartoon.
Wally Cox- Underdog
Don Adams- Tennessee Tuxedo, Inspector Gadget
Edward Everet Horton- narrator “Fractered Fairy Tales”
Jack Benny and Eddy “Rochester” Anderson- Old MGM cartoon which name escapes me.
People famous for doing only voices:
Gary Owens- Space Ghost
Mel Blanc
Don Messick- Scooby Doo…among others.
Frank Welker
June Foray- Rocket J. Squirrel among others. Did you know she did the voice of “Talky Tina” in the old Twilight Zome Episode.
Not quite. Walter Koenig (Chekov) never appeared in the Animated Series, though he wrote an episode. Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), James Doohan (Scott) and George Takei (Sulu) did voices for characters in addition to their own. Nimoy and Shatner never did any voices other than Spock and Kirk.
The late Ted Baxter (Mary Tyler Moore Show) also did cartoon voices. So did Ted Cassidy (Lurch). So did John Astin (Gomez Addams), come to think of it.
I do appreciate Tim Curry’s work. His list of cartoon voice overs is tremendous.
The cartoon with Jack Benny and all the cast of his show(all but Dennis Day, I think)was a Warner Bros. cartoon called “The Mouse that Jack Built”. Jack himself makes a live action cameo at the end.
Arnold Stang did the voice of Top Cat.
I think Don Knotts did the voice of Mr. Bone, the principal on Doug (the Nick version).
George Clooney was the barking of the gay dog on South Park.
Not to mention the endless vocal appearances of celebrities on the Simpsons, with Phil Hartman doing two regular characters and several one time characters. Mark Hamil appeared as himself in one show, and also in that show played a drill sargeant character at a bodyguard training center where Homer goes. Film maker John Waters played a gay character on an episode. And, of course, Elizabeth Taylor as the voice of Maggie’s first word.
“His name was Robert Paulsen”?
[sub]Sorry, I couldn’t help it[/sub]
Rik Mayall did the seagul on the recent (perhaps still ongoing) Watership Down cartoon.
Jim Byrnes (Jow Dawson from the Highlander TV series) has been in a number of cartoons, especially Ocean jobs. (He’s most recognizable as Thrust in Beast Machines.)
In the South Park movie, Clooney also does the voice of the E.R. doctor who replaces Kenny’s heart with a baked potato. (“It just doesn’t get any easier!” Exit whistling.) Eric Idle also did a voice for the South Park movie, as well as Transformers: The Movie.
And it’s not a cartoon, but John Cleese was the voice of an Ape Named “Ape” in the live-action film George of the Jungle.
AS for Mark Hamill’s ever-growing voice-over resume, he was also the voice of Snakebite Scruggs in Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, Disney’s Pepper Ann, Cow and Chicken as Vet/Weenie Dog/Karate Chick/Mayor, and Bruno the Kid.
Btw, check out the voice talent on Bruno the Kid - Bruce Willis (who, along with Demi Moore also did voices for Beevis and Butthead Do America), Rene Auberjonois, Tim Curry, Kenneth Mars (Inspector Kemp from Young Frankenstein), Ed McMahon, Bronson Pinchot, and Ben Stein.
The Jungle Book had the voices of Louis Prima (King Louie) and Phil Harris (Baloo the Bear), off the top of my head. Scatman Caruthers did the voice of a character (I forget the name) in the Aristocats that was planned for Louis Armstrong. He died before he could start work on it, and thet told Scatman to imitate Armstrong as much as he could.
Mark Hammil’s big cartoon voice however, was that of the Joker on Batman The Animated Series and a fine Joker he made too. I think all his other voice work stemmed from that though how he got that role is a story I’d like to hear.
Thanks for the responces.
I guess I was looking at the morning littlies TV shows [for say under 5yos], so Star Trek, Beevis and Butthead, The Simpsons, Southpark etc and Disney movies aren’t quite what I was thinking about.
Can’t quite work out why I hadn’t realised Don Adams was Inspector Gadget!
I never worked out Inspector Gadget either and I’m a huge fan of Get Smart…
But get a load of Captain Planet:
Whoopi Goldberg
Ed Asner
James Coburn (name sounds really familiar and has tons of credits so I’ll list him)
Tim Curry
Jeff Goldblum
Helen Hunt
Margot Kidder (though besides Superman I can’t really think of what she’s been in)
Malcolm McDowell
Meg Ryan
Martin Sheen
Sting
How the hell they afforded all this when it was thinly veiled EPA propaganda I’ll never know.
Frank Zappa was the voice of The Pope in Ren and Stimpy Here is a link. The Powdered Toast Man episode.

Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson, was also the voice of the genie on the Aladdin cartoon series (not the original animated movie; that was Robin Williams). Several of the voices on Gargoyles were done by people from Star Trek, like Jonathan Frakes as Xanatos and Marina Sirtis as Demona.
I just wanna plug my favorite voice actor of all time, Jim Cummings. A search of his name on the IMDB should give you a glimpse of his well-known talent.
Pamela Segal, though not a familiar face, is a very familiar voice. She plays:
Bobby Hill on “King of the Hill”
Ashley Spinelli on “Recess”
Rusty on “Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot”
Brutus on “Hercules”
About half the characters on “The Oblongs”
Moose Pearson on “Pepper Ann”
and a lot of the supporting characters on “Rugrats”.
The most interesting thing is that the voice she uses for Bobby Hill (pudgy white boy), Ashley Spinelli (skinny Asian girl), and Rusty (robot), is exactly the same, and is strangely appropriate for all three.
And the Oblong kid (who’s name I can’t remember), and the kid Kiki delivers a stuffed cat to (who’s name I ALSO can’t remember…) in the Kiki’s Delivery Service dub, and…
Well, when I think about familiar voices in children’s cartoons (at least, as far as my childhood goes), I always think of Mel Blanc and Lorenzo Music.
Lorenzo Music is probably best known as the voice of Garfield in all of his TV specials and shows. However, he was also Peter Venkman in The Real Ghostbusters, Tummi in The Gummi Bears, and was various voices on The Jetsons, Tailspin, Darkwing Duck, and a bunch of other cartoons.
Also, taking a look at the IMDB, I see that he also produced, wrote, and composed for The Bob Newhart Show and Rhoda, as well as writing and performing for The Smothers Brothers.
I also noticed that he apparently passed away at the beginning of this past August.
