Two of his voices were the characters "Yank" and "Dan" of the "American Eagles" troupe in the mid-1960s cartoon series '' Roger Ramjet '', as well as Arthur Spacely on '' The Jetsons ''. He also voiced the famous Claymation character Gumby for awhile in 1957. From 1960 to 1964, Dick played the voice of Davey Hansen, as well as other child voices, on Davey And Goliath . He did not do any voices for that series after 1965, when Norma McMillan replaced him as Davey Hansen. Perhaps his most recognizable characterization was the voice of the stop-motion animation figure called "Speedy Alka-Seltzer ", featured in TV ads for many years. He then spoke as the voices of Buzz Conroy, the boy scientist on '' Frankenstein, Jr. And The Impossibles '', and Richie Rich's naughty cousin, Reggie Van Dough on '' Richie Rich ''. Beals wrote an autobiography, "Think Big". His high voice and boyish appearance are due to a glandular problem; he did not go through puberty (much like Walter Tetley , who had provided the voice for Sherman on "The Bullwinkle Show"). Beals is 4 foot 7 inches tall and just under 70 pounds. Despite his short stature, he has been able to fly planes using modified controls. EXTERNAL LINKS |
