Biography: One of the most prolific voice actors of all time, he has been involved with some of the most popular and important animated programs of all time as well, beginning with his role as level-headed leader Fred Jones in "Scooby-Doo", the evil Decepticon leader Megatron in "The Transformers" (1984) (among others), Dr. Ray Stantz in "The Real Ghost Busters" (1986), and a variety of supporting roles in "G.I. Joe" (1985), "Tiny Toon Adventures" (1990), "Animaniacs" (1993) and "Smurfs" (1981). His "Dr. Claw" voice is arguably his most famous role. Aside from playing Dr. Claw in "Inspector Gadget" (1983), he has used the voice for other characters, such as Darkseid in "SuperFriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show" (1984), Emperor Krulos in "Dino-Riders" (1988), Soundwave in "The Transformers" (1984) (only heavily modified with a vocoder, to give it a distinct monotone, robotic sound), as well as in movies such as the Cave of Wonders in Aladdin (1992), Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat (1995), Soundwave again in both Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) and Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) (without the vocoder effects), as well as playing the Devil in four different movies; The Golden Child (1986), All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989), Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) and Spawn (1997).
