Messick discussed his role as Dr. Quest in a 1986 interview with Brian Lowry in Starlog magazine:Starlog, October 1986, page 18: "Don Messick Vocal Hero" by Brian Lowry. Archived.
==Notes/trivia==
* Messick replaced John Stephenson as Dr. Quest, due to the latter sounding too similar to Mike Road's Race Bannon.
* Messick recorded four episodes of season 2 of The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, but his health kept him from doing anything from acting beyond the gentle father; he couldn't play tension, anger, concern, urgency, etc. John de Lancie replaced him and relooped his lines.
