One of my three favorite voice actors (along with Daws Butler and Mel Blanc),
Paul Frees was Ludwig von Drake, Boris Badenov, the Pillsbury Doughboy,
Toucan Sam, two of the Beatles (John and George), Snuffy Smith, and a host of others. By himself, he was a cast of thousands! R.I.P., Mr. Frees.

Paul Frees had a very diverse resume as a cartoon voiceover artist. To me, his most challenging voice was Boris Badenov, because of the heavy Slavic accent. He never referred to Rocky and Bullwinkle by name, only by their species of "Moose and Squirrel."

...Frees was involved in virtually every entertainment medium during his lifetime: stage perfomances [he started out as an impressionist, naturally], radio [his greatest body of work], motion pictures [as narrator, voice-dubber: foreign and domestic, and occcasional "character actor"], and television [you name it, he did it!]. What more can be said about a career that encompassed all that?
