Child actor
Putt-Putt was originally thought up by Shelley Day as a series of bedtime stories for her son, Travis; the first story involved Putt-Putt saving a cat caught in a tree. Child actor Jason Ellefson did Putt-Putt's voice for the first eight of the games. In the games released between 1998 and 2000, Nancy Cartwright (of "The Simpsons" fame) voiced Putt-Putt. Michelle Thorson voiced Putt-Putt in "Pep's Birthday Surprise".
