Brock Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Phillip Morris always gets you in the end. Seriously though, R.I.P. John. Very sad to lose one of the very last people associated with the show from the very earliest days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyilove Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Didn't realize he was still around after all these years - he was a terrific voice actor for Hanna-Barbera, not only in his iconic Mr. Slate but he did a wonderful Cary Grant impersonation (much better than Tony Curtis' in Some Like it Hot) as the coolest cat in Top Cat's posse. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
