Frank Welker

So good, it's scary.

Frank W. Welker (February 16, 1945-) is an American voice actor god. Though it is but the tip of the iceberg, some of Welker's most notable roles include Fred from Scooby Doo, Ray and Slimer from The Real Ghostbusters, Nibbler from Futurama, Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget and that parrot that got eaten by the shark in Deep Blue Sea. He has also done nearly all the animal sounds recorded for cartoons in North America in the last few decades.

Basically, if you haven't seen a cartoon with him in it then that's because you've never seen a cartoon in your entire life.

Trivia

• According to Ben Yee, Bob Forward desperately wanted Frank Welker to reprise the role of G1 Megatron for the Beast Wars episode The Agenda, Part 2 and even offered to go to Welker's home in California and tape-record his lines there. However, Welker declined the role supposedly because Forward was unable to offer him a sufficient amount of money and his schedule was too busy.

• For an episode of Adult Swim's Robot Chicken series, "Werewolf vs. Unicorn", Frank Welker reprised the roles of both Soundwave and Megatron.

• Throughout the 90's, Frank Welker was the official voice of Steven Spielberg in all his animated appearances in shows like Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs and so on.
