Many people may not know the name Joe Alaskey. Fans of voiceover like myself and animation may know the name. If you don't know the name you know these characters. Grandpa Lou Pickles from the Rugrats (which he took over upon the death of the original actor David Doyle), Stinky one of Casper's Uncles in the Casper film as well as the TV show which followed, took over for the late Ernest Borgnine as Mermaid Man in a few Spongebob Squarepants video games, Plucky Duck in Tiny Toons Adventures and most notably became one of Mel Blanc's prominent successors upon his death of the various Looney Tunes characters he voiced. Projects Alaskey appeared as the Looney Tunes include the aforementioned Tiny Toons, Who Framed Roger Rabbit (one of his earliest where he voiced Yosemite Sam), Looney Tunes Back In Action and Duck Dodgers among many other prominent appearances.
Someone who's talent will be remembered most definitely by fans of voice over like me, animation and people who grew up on his voices as the voice of some of their favourite characters.
