Spoiler : Daws Butler (Charles Dawson Butler) Born Toledo, Ohio, November 16, 1916 (grew up in Oak Park, Illinois) Died Los Angeles, California, May 18, 1988 Age 71 (heart attack) Short and shy, Daws dreamed of a career as a cartoonist when he was in high school. With a good ear for words and dialect, he became a foremost voice actor. Attempting to go into cartoon voices, he was told to forget it and do radio. "Mel Blanc does all the cartoons!" So he threw himself into radio. He could be heard on Albert Brooks (not the Albert Brooks of today), This is Hollywood, Family Theater, Your Movietown Radio Theater, Jubilee, Diary of Fate, Tell It Again, The Unexpected, Our American Heritage, the Pendleton Story, That's Rich, Railroad Hour, Inheritance, Fibber McGee & Molly (NBC Monitor episodes), CBS Radio Workshop, Suspense, Stan Freberg, and several shows in the '70s. Interestingly, Daws was also a pioneer in television, voicing puppets on Time for Beany (he was Beany). When that was over in the mid 1950s, he thought his career was over. That was when he did some of OTR's last great Hollywood shows. Which led to his career with Hanna-Barbera cartoons. And that led to this off topic bit: Mel Blanc had a terrible car accident. While he was recuperating, Daws was his substitute as Barney Rubble for five episodes of the Flintstones.
