Voices
Here's a double-barrelled trivia question for the League members: The actor who voiced a famous serial mystery villain was better known as the voice of two different famous animated characters. In addition, the actor who voiced a lesser-known mystery villain in another serial was the voice behind two other well-known cartoon characters. Who were the two actors, what mystery villains did they voice, and what animated characters did they provide the voice for?

I can provide a start Gerald Mohr was the voice of the scorpion in Capt. Marvel and the leader of the cartoon fantastic four - Reed Richards. He was Phillip Marlowe on Radio as well

No, Mohr is not the answer. Try again.

A hint: the famous mystery villain was featured in a Republic serial from the late thirties, and the lesser-known one in a Columbia from the late forties.

REED HADLEY ???????

No, not Hadley either. Another hint--the Republic serial concerned is frequently placed on top-ten lists; the Columbia one seldom is. Both serials are "period" pieces and do not take place in the modern day.

Billy Bletcher supplied the voice of Don del Oro in ZORROS' FIGHTING LEGION. But don't ask me about cartoons, they ain't my thing

Yes, Billy Bletcher is one of the two actors I was referring to. Does anyone know what famous cartoon characters he voiced?

Wasnt Billy Bletcher in the Columbia serial "THE DESERT HAWK?"

Bletcher played Gorzo in LOST CITY, too
jadm

Of course, LOST CITY was not a Columbia.

Another hint: The two famous animated characters Bletcher voiced were both Walt Disney characters.
The Lightning

For sure one of them is "The Big Bad Wolf" and the other is "Pegleg Pete"

Didn't Paul Frees do a couple of mystery villain voices?
Jerry Blake Operator 99
(2/11/03 4:31 pm)
Both the Lightning and Todd are correct. Billy Bletcher was the voice of Pegleg Pete and of the Big Bad Wolf, and Paul Frees, who voiced the Black Knight in ADVENTURES OF SIR GALAHAD, is, of course, famous as the voice of Ludwig Von Drake and of Boris Badenov, archenemy of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Jerry, Paul Frees was the voice of Boris Badenov.

That was what I mean to say; just misplaced the commas a little in my last post.
