Daws Butler

Daws Butler (16 November 1916 – 18 May 1988) was one of Hanna-Barbera's most prolific voice actors, contributing the voice of Yogi Bear, Elroy Jetson, Huckleberry Hound and Snagglepuss, among others.
== About Daws ==
Butler began his career doing various voices for MGM, as well as Walter Lantz's Smedley the dog and Chilly Willy the penguin on The Woody Woodpecker Show (this voice would later be transferred to Huckleberry Hound). He joined Hanna-Barbera in 1957 with their first TV cartoon, The Ruff & Reddy Show.
Daws Butler would often use various celebrities of the day as the starting point for his vocal characterizations, but would adapt them until the characters were distinctively his own. Yogi Bear was originally based on Art Carney, Hokey Wolf came from Phil Silvers and Snagglepuss was based on Bert Lahr.
In 1975, Butler started a voice acting class that helped give birth to the careers of Nancy Cartwright, Corey Burton, and Greg Burson, although Burson ended up taking over for Butler after he passed away.
