Dick Beals
Voiceover actor -- via the New York Times. He started off in 1949, doing kids' and small-animal voices in the great trilogy of WXYZ-Detroit children's action shows: "The Lone Ranger," "The Green Hornet," and "The Challenge of the Yukon." He was the voice of the Speedy Alka-Seltzer character in early TV commericals; he was the original voice of Davey in the religious claymation series "Davey and Goliath"; he even subbed as the voice of Gumby. A great talent!
