Gary Owens

Gary Owens (born Gary Bernard Altman; May 10, 1934 - February 12, 2015) was an American disc jockey, voice actor, radio announcer and personality. His polished baritone speaking voice generally offered deadpan recitations of total nonsense, which he frequently demonstrated as the announcer on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. Owens was equally proficient in straight or silly assignments and was frequently heard on television and radio as well as in commercials. He was best known, aside from being the announcer on Laugh-In, for providing the voice of the titular superhero on Space Ghost and Blue Falcon in Dynomutt, Dog Wonder. He also played himself in a cameo appearance on Space Ghost Coast to Coast in 1998. Owens' first cartoon-voice acting was performing the voice of Roger Ramjet on the Roger Ramjet cartoons. He later served as voice of the over-the-air digital network Antenna TV. Description above from the Wikipedia article Gary Owens, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.

Gary Owens (geboren als Gary Bernard Altman; 10. Mai 1934 – 12. Februar 2015) war ein US-amerikanischer Discjockey, Synchronsprecher, Radiosprecher und Entertainer. Seine sonore Baritonstimme trug meist trockenen Unsinn vor, was er häufig als Ansager in Rowan & Martins „Laugh-In“ unter Beweis stellte. Owens beherrschte sowohl ernste als auch komische Rollen und war regelmäßig im Fernsehen, Radio und in Werbespots zu hören. Neben seiner Tätigkeit als Ansager bei „Laugh-In“ war er vor allem als Stimme des Superhelden „Space Ghost“ und des Blue Falcon in „Dynomutt, Dog Wonder“ bekannt. 1998 hatte er einen Gastauftritt in „Space Ghost Coast to Coast“. Owens' erste Sprechrolle in einem Zeichentrickfilm war die von Roger Ramjet in den „Roger Ramjet“-Cartoons. Später war er die Stimme des terrestrischen Fernsehsenders Antenna TV.
