Billy "Red Pepper Sam" Costello - while he only did the voice of Popeye for a few of the cartoons before being fired (for being a Prima Donna, apparently), he none the less deserves a mention, for having originated the voice.

That's correct. He also replaced Robin Williams in the second movie, but Robin
returned for the third Aladdin movie.

Interestingly, Lorenzo Music replaced Bill Murray in the cartoon version of
GHOSTBUSTERS; while Bill Murray replaced Lorenzo Music as the voice of
Garfield in "Garfield" the movie! And, yes, Music was also heard on Disney's
GUMMI BEARS (not to mention as Carlton the doorman on RHODA and on
the Carlton animated TV special).

Billy "Red Pepper Sam" Costello - while he only did the voice of Popeye for a few of the cartoons before being fired (for being a Prima Donna, apparently), he none the less deserves a mention, for having originated the voice.

I suppose, by the same token, Gus Wickie is noteworthy for being the first
Bluto (although Jackson Beck probably did the voice for the longest time,
esp. if one counts the 1960s made-for-TV cartoons in which the character
was renamed Brutus). By the time, Hanna-Barbera got a hold of Popeye,
Allan Melvin ("Magilla Gorilla") was Bluto (yeah, they returned to the original
name).

Of course, due to space limitations here, it was impossible to list all the voice
credits for each actor. So I picked what I thought would be the best known.

Yes, I mentioned Dallas McKennon in my list above. Besides voice-overs, he
played Cincinattus on Fess Parker's DANIEL BOONE series (1964-1970).

Jane Webb was one of the stock players at Filmation Studios. She also
voiced Ginger on THE NEW ADVENTURES OF GILLIGAN and supplied various
voices for THE SECRET LIVES OF WALDO KITTY, WILL THE REAL JERRY
LEWIS PLEASE SIT DOWN?, and other Filmation cartoons.

I watched TOXIC CRUSADERS (on video tape) this morning. Funny show.

Howard Morris is one of my favorite comedians. He was great on Sid Caesar's
shows and as Ernest T. Bass on THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, in addition to the
many, many cartoon voiceovers that he has done over the years. He was
also Wade on the U.S. Acres segment of GARFIELD & FRIENDS. He is missed.

And,of course,the late Great Mel Blanc-from `1940 to 1964 he was the voice of Bugs Bunny and all of the rest of the Warner Bros.Cartoons characters EXCEPT Elmer Fudd,and Ralph Phillips.He also did Barney Rubble(1960-1961 and again in late 1961 to the end in 1966)on "The Flintstones:(in addition to Barney ,he was the voice of OTHER characters on the show),he was also the voice of Mr.Spacely on "The Jetsons"(both versions-The superior 1962-1963 ABC ORIGINAL version,AND the babyish,inferior remake in the 1980's.And he was ALSO the voice of "Secret Squirrel"(remember that 1965 -1968 NBC series?) .And in 1980,he was again the voice of Bugs Bunny ,Marvin the Martian,and The Abominable Snow Man named Hugo (from 1961's "The Abominbable Snow-Rabbit:)in the cartoon "Spaced Out Bunny",and the inferior (in my opinion) 1980 cartoon "Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 241/2 Century" and voiced Porky Pig and Daffy Duck once again ,which was an inferior sequel to the original 1950's(not sure of the year)the memorable and funny "Duck Dodgers in the 241/2 Century"
