Sean 6,335 Posted July 19, 2015 I have him on my DDP theme team this year.I read somewhere that he wasn`t too well and that his family were fighting over who should control his assets but I don`t think it was a major site that reported it. Definitely worthy of considering for a place on the Death list.He has no direct links in Britain as he lived virtually his entire life in America but I think most people of a certain age would have heard of Mr Ed and certainly Scrooge McDuck and the Disney link is very significant in obits.He also starred in many episodes of the Smurfs which was massive even when I was little.

Sean 6,335 Posted July 19, 2015 I reckon he must also be the oldest living voice actor or at least the oldest working voice actor.I think June Foray is the oldest working and living voice actress and she is two years older than Alan but I can`t think of anyone else.

CaptainChorizo 1,983 Posted July 19, 2015 Not sure how big the show is outside of the Usa but for people around my age in the Us, DuckTales was something almost everyone in grade school watched after school in the late 80's-early 90's. With the family vulturing over his assets makes me think if he makes it to the end of the year he would be a very strong pick for 2016. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted July 19, 2015 He should be put on the 2016 list for sure I'm still really confused as to why Sir Nicholas Winton wasn't on this year's list though... would have been an excellent pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiesa52 132 Posted July 21, 2015 Way back in the fifties, he starred in "Androcles and the Lion"- very entertaining film if you can get it- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is not really well known as an individual over in the UK as I know but if you said scrooge McDuck or Mr Ed people would know.A bit like Casey Kasem.No one knew the name but knew the voice.

YoungWillz 21,062 Posted July 22, 2015 If that's directed at Angelillo: Predictor starts thread re Scrooge McDuck and Duck Tales voice actor. Angelillo, Italian voice actor for Scrooge McDuck and Duck Tales dies 2 days later. Coincidence highlighted. For future reference, I'll not be explaining my choice of thread.

Toast 16,151 Posted July 22, 2015 I can't see why we have to have separate threads for such people. There's no need for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll admit he's not a name that immediately springs to mind and there are many others who have been in more roles and are probably wider known. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted July 23, 2015 It doesn't matter if he/she is the greatest most widely known and heralded as the pinnacle of voice actors. Why you people feel the need to peel off individuals from existing threads can only be explained by the need to see your name in lights as the starter of a thread.

Sir C So what threads can be created.Every celebrity belongs to a particular group after all whether it is acting ,politics,sport of a various sort , comedy or reality TV.Should we just get rid of individual threads altogether?. Alan Young for the record has been a regular actor, a television presenter, a radio host and comedian not just a voice actor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted July 24, 2015 When I first joined I niaively thought that Named threads were only for people who had actually made it on to the main list previously. That would be so much neater. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
