Walter Reichelt

Walter Reichelt (1923-2002) was a German voice actor who dubbed Waldorf in Die Muppet Show and in all other productions through the German dub of Muppets Tonight. He also dubbed Daddy Dodo in Bibos abenteuerliche Flucht (Follow That Bird) and Mr. Rockchewer in the Creature Shop-effects film The Neverending Story III.
In cartoons, the gruff sounding Reichelt was the German voice of Yosemite Sam, the Commissioner in the Inspector segments of The Pink Panther Show, Halvar on Vicky the Viking, Grampa Simpson on The Simpsons for the first eight seasons, Colonel K. on Danger Mouse, and Sir Tuxford on Adventures of the Gummi Bears, while feature animation credits included Valhalla (the father), Heavy Metal (Rudnick and senator), and three Asterix films.
Reichelt's live action dub credits include Walter Gotell as General Gogol in two James Bond films, Slim Pickens in three films including The Howling, Orson Welles in Napoleon, Edward Asner in Hard Rain, Brian Doyle-Murray in Groundhog Day, Gerard Parkes in It Takes Two, Guy Kibbee in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and I. M. Hobson in The Hudsucker Proxy. For TV, he dubbed Leo McKern as Number 2 on The Prisoner, Ned Beatty on Roseanne, and various guests on Law & Order (including Louis Zorich, Allen Swift, and multiple judges). Periodic on-camera work included appearances on Tatort and Das Kriminalmuseum.
His daughter, Sonja Reichelt, also became a voice actor.
