Joe Alaskey

Joseph Francis "Joe" Alaskey III was an American stand-up comedian, actor, voice artist, and impressionist. Alaskey was one of Mel Blanc's successors at the Warner Bros. Animation studio until his death, a year ago, on February 3, 2016.

Before working on TV and films, Alaskey was a successful stand-up impressionist and worked on a Boston radio morning show called Effective Radio with Bill, along with June Foray, before he was hired by Warner Bros in 1989 to take over from famed voice artist Mel Blanc, who had died that year.



Alaskey, who said he sang every day to keep the larynx supple, also voiced other legendary Looney Tunes characters, among them Elmer Fudd, Marvin the Martian, Plucky Duck on Tiny Toon Adventures, Grandpa Lou Pickles on Rugrats, and the ghost Stinkie from Casper. In 2004, he won a Daytime Emmy Award for his work on the cartoon Duck Dodgers, providing the voice of the eponymous hero, whom he described as "an egotistical, obnoxious duck with his own show".



He was also the narrator on the television documentary series Murder Comes To Town, which aired on the Investigation Discovery Network. Alaskey remained a great imitator of voices and he supplied the voice of Richard Nixon in the Oscar-winning film, Forrest Gump.

He was also used to re-dub actors for the TV or airline releases of movies when "rude" words had to be replaced; he cleaned up 62 swear words uttered by Jack Lemmon in David Mamet's profanity-filled 'Glengarry Glen Ross'.

Voice Actor - R. Lee Ermey

Ronald Ermey has often played the roles of authority figures, such as his breakout performance as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket, Mayor Tilman in the Alan Parker film Mississippi Burning, Bill Bowerman in Prefontaine, Sheriff Hoyt in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, and plastic army men leader Sarge in the Toy Story films.

Ermey was cast in his first movie while attending the University of Manila in the Philippines, using his G.I. Bill benefits. He first played a Marine drill instructor (SSgt Loyce) in the 1978 Vietnam-era film The Boys in Company "C", which brought Ermey to the attention of Stanley Kubrick in later years. Ermey then played an Air Cavalry Officer in Apocalypse Now, doubling as a technical advisor to director Francis Ford Coppola on that film. He also served as Louis Gossett's technical advisor for the film An Officer and a Gentleman. For the next few years, Ermey played a series of minor film roles until 1987, when he was cast as tough drill instructor Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket; Ermey also served as the technical advisor on the film.

He has done voice-over work for several animated series as well. In the episode of Spongebob Squarepants, "Bummer Vacation", he voiced an irate warden of a maximum security island prison who demoralized the inmates whenever he could. His voice is very distinct in animated series and feature films.

Ermey has lent his distinctive voice to several video games, including Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (as General Barnaky) and Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (as Wa-Wa). He also made a cameo in Real War: Air, Land, Sea, a retail real-time strategy computer game based on the official Joint Chiefs of Staff training game. In the game Fallout 3, there is a recruitable companion named R-L-3, a modified military robot with a personality very similar to Ermey (the companion's name is a reference to Ermey's initials wherein the 3 is leetspeak for the letter 'e'). In the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion there is a character named "Lieutenant Emry" that speaks some of Ermey's signature lines from Full Metal Jacket.

Here's one of the many famous scene he's best known for:


He has received several awards during his distinguished military:
    •    Meritorious Unit Commendation
    •    Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal with two bronze Service Stars
    •    National Defense Service Medal
    •    Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal
    •    Vietnam Service Medal with one bronze service star
    •    Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm
    •    Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal
    •    Rifle Expert Badge
    •    Pistol Sharpshooter Badge
After retirement, R. Lee Ermey was also retroactively awarded the Drill Instructor Ribbon due to his prior service as a Marine Corps Basic Training Instructor as well as the Vietnam Presidential Unit Citation for unit activities during the Vietnam War.

Voice Actor - Bill Farmer

Ever since his childhood, legendary cartoon voice-over performer Bill Farmer was enamored with cartoons. He learned he had a knack for doing voices and of all the characters he liked, the character Goofy was who he liked best.

Farmer's first job, at the age of 15, involved doing voices, especially those of Western stars like John Wayne or Walter Brennan. He and his friends would sometimes go through fast food drive-thrus and order foods in his voices. In college, he found work in radio and TV and then moved on to stand-up comedy as an impressionist until he moved out to Hollywood where he voiced Goofy since 1986.

During his stand-up years, Farmer worked at a comedy club called the Comedy Corner in Dallas. Tuesday nights were open mike nights there and he had just taken a job at an electronics store. He had just recently stopped working in show business and radio and he missed his audience. So he went to the club on Tuesday nights and he created his own five-minute routine. Starting on March 16, 1982, he started going to the Comedy Corner every week and started working on his routine and it became a career inside of six months. He worked at the Comedy Corner from 1982 until he moved to California in 1986.

Farmer's decision to move to California came from a Dallas commercial agent who suggested that, given his talent for voices, he should try his luck in California. He was recently married, but he and his wife talked it over and came to an arrangement. She stayed back in Dallas while he commuted for a year after he got an apartment. Then four months after his moving out to Hollywood, his agent asked him if he could do any Disney characters. His very first animated character audition was for Goofy. When he auditioned for the voice, he studied all the cartoons with Goofy in them, especially the ones released in the 1930s. He studied the hilarious laugh and the distinctive "gawrsh". He inherited the voice of Goofy (as well as Pluto and Horace Horsecollar), around the same time Tony Anselmo inherited Donald Duck, and Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor did likewise for Mickey and Minnie Mouse, respectively.

Bill believes that cartoon voices are not about funny voices, but rather acting. His mentor was the late Daws Butler, the voice behind many of the old Hanna-Barbera characters. Daws put it in Bill's mind that when doing cartoon voices, you're not merely doing a funny voice, you're an actor and the acting is premier and that you have to think like the character you're doing and he is also best known as the voice of Goofy in A Goofy Movie in 1995 and as the voice of Goofy in the sequel An Extremely Goofy Movie in 2000.

Voice Actor - Vincent Price

Known first as a film actor, writer, and gourmet, but he was also a voice actor. Vincent Price was born in St Louis, Missouri. He traveled through Europe, studied at Yale and became an actor. He made his screen debut in 1938, and after many minor roles, he began to perform in low-budget horror movies such as House of Wax (1953), achieving his first major success with House of Usher (1960). Known for his distinctive, low-pitched, creaky, atmospheric voice and his quizzical, mock-serious facial expressions, he went on to star in a series of acclaimed Gothic horror movies, such as Pit and the Pendulum (1961) and The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971).

What most people don't know is that Tim Burton's very first film Vincent, has Vincent Price as the narrator's voice. It's a short 1982 stopmotion film about a boy named Young Vincent Malloy who dreams of being just like Vincent Price and loses himself in macabre daydreams which annoys his mother. 

This began a long relationship between him and Tim Burton.  His role in Edward Scissorhands (1990) was intended to be much larger, but since Price was very ill from emphysema and Parkinson's disease he was only able to appear in two scenes.

And of course, who can forget is unforgettable voice in Michael Jackson's Thriller song.
