Spook Central Halloween Treat – The Real Ghostbusters Call Sheets & Notable Guest Stars
Hal Smith was also the voice of Goofy a few times for Disney, beginning in 1967 and ending in 1987. Other voice artists also did the character during those years, but I remember seeing him in documentaries talking about his approach to the voice. Blew my mind that it was Otis the town drunk!
Thanks for that additional information, Alex. For whatever reason, I thought Goofy’s voice lineage went from Pinto Colvig to Bill Farmer, the current voice. I never realized that Hal Smith came in between the two. – Paul
Regarding this part:
“[Derek McGrath] has come to voice Chief Quimby (a role originated by Maurice LaMarche in the 1980s) in the new Inspector Gadget (2015) series.”
Maurice LaMarche did not originate the voice of Chief Quimby. He was in fact the third actor to play the character, starting in Season 2 of the original Inspector Gadget series. Before that, Quimby had been voiced by John Stephenson (in the pilot episode) and Dan Hennessey (in Season 1).
Thanks, Mesterius. I updated the article to avoid that mistake. – Paul
