Toast 16,131 Posted July 22, 2015 There is a perfectly serviceable thread for Voice Actors. Can't this go there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,533 Posted July 22, 2015 There is a perfectly serviceable thread for Voice Actors. Can't this go there? I thought he was more well known as being a stand-up comedian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,314 Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah he is way more known for hi stand up than his voice acting. Funny guy. One of last non PC comics still going.I think he has trouble walking but apart from that he is doing pretty well for 89. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,961 Posted July 22, 2015 This day and age animated feature films don't get people who are only noteworthy as voice actors for the major roles but instead people who are already major celebrities with wider name recognition for a bigger draw in advertising. Dunno how famous he is outside the USA though so Mr. Potato Head could very well be his biggest claim to fame over in the UK. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,131 Posted July 23, 2015 I've never heard of him, or that other dude, the Mr Ed one. I just can't see the point in creating separate threads for people who are of very limited interest. As opposed to people who have lots going on, are regularly in the news, have well-documented health issues or reckless lifestyles etc etc. Even then, some of them can share a thread, as with the scatty bimbo thread.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted July 23, 2015 Watched Don Rickles in "the man with X Ray Eyes" only the other week. Meaty role as Crane, the odd side show stall holder. Amazing to think that this film was shot 52 years ago. He just turned 89 and there are only a handful of older actors left working now. (really think Kirk Douglas won't do anything again, Kirk last worked in 2010). Going down the list of really old living persons who are featured on the Hollywood Walk of Fame it seems 80% are female. Somewhat shocking that Rickles is not featured there yet. Appropriate that the oldest living actor is now Mary Carlisle (born 1914) in that her last role was back in 1943 in a film called Dead Men Walk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,966 Posted July 23, 2015 I was a bit surprised he was still alive when I went through my "SAD LAST DAYS" search. And to be honest, I only remember him from either The Daily Show or the Colbert Report when either Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert ironically yelled at a picture of Rickles for winning the Emmy that year in the category they were both nominated in. Doing a web search... found the video: http://videosift.com/video/The-Colbert-Report-923-Stephen-Loses-to-Don-Rickles Oh wow, it was in 2008 already...

Bibliogryphon 9,571 Posted July 23, 2015 I am unaware of his comedy only really know him from voice work. He provided the voice for a two headed dragon (with Eric Idle) in the film The Magic Sword which also featured Gary Oldman, Cary Elwes, Pierce Brosnan & John Gielgud. Worth checking out the song "If I didn't have you" songs by Carole Bayer Sager. My daughter went through a phase of binge watching it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted July 25, 2015 Funny you should mention Don Rickles because his comedy partner Al Checco died last week at 93 http://variety.com/2015/legit/people-news/al-checco-don-knotts-dead-dies-1201547191/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
