    Gary Owens RIP

    Radio, TV and voiceover performer Gary Owens died on Feb. 12 at his home in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles. Owens, who was 80, had been a diabetic since the age of 8.

        The quintessential talk show announcer, narrator, and the voice of Space Ghost and Powdered Toast Man, as well as many other cartoon voices. A true pop culture icon.

              That is a real shame. I loved his voice as well. I think someone had linked an interview with the voices of Scooby-Doo not that long ago and he was one of the interviews. Tremendous talent. R.I.P.

                *sniff* RIP Laugh-In announcer, Green Hornet Newscaster, Space Ghost and Blue Falcon. You will be missed. I'll watch Dynomutt tomorrow morning in his honor.

                      Aw man. Perhaps the best voice on TV EVER. As far as our circles go, not only was he Space Ghost and Blue Falcon, he voiced the Dick Sprang Batman on the "Legends of the Dark Knight" episode of BTAS.

                      RIP Mr. Owens.

                        I had forgotten him as the Daily Sentinel newscaster. And what a raconteur he was on talk shows.

                            Gary also provided the voice of Cy from Galactica:1980 'Return Of Starbuck'. RIP from 'beautiful downtown Burbank'. Tom Kane who voiced Yoda in The Clone Wars mentioned that Gary was his biggest influence.
