Profile Bio Text
Donald "Don" Messick (September 7, 1926 – October 24, 1997) was one of the most prolific voice actors of the second half of the 20th century. Messick, a native of Buffalo, New York, voiced several classic cartoon characters, including Scooby-Doo, Ranger Smith and Boo Boo Bear, Muttley, Bamm-Bamm Rubble, Astro, Zorak, Godzooky, Dr. Benton Quest, and Papa Smurf.
In 1996, Messick suffered a stroke while recording voices at a cartoon studio. It has been said that Messick turned pale, looked over at the director and said, "I can’t do this anymore," then stumbled out to his car and drove home. A week later, Messick’s agent sent word that he had retired. Messick suffered a second stroke and died on October 24, 1997. He was cremated. His ashes were scattered at the Point Lobos State Reserve in California.
