So, the other night, the wife and I stumbled upon the original version of Harry Nilsson's film The Point... With Ringo Starr as the father/narrator...
And I kept hearing this familiar voice... Playing the part of countless other characters...
It haunted me, so I went down the rabbit hole of IMDB...
And found Paul Frees. Who voiced SO many characters from my childhood...
Wow. I'm in awe...

If we had a pantheon of greats, Paul Frees, would be right up there.
Here's a compilation. I recommend jumping around a bit to find the gems.
