I genuinely love this man. I wrote him a letter, he sent it back with an addition saying how much he loved it. He also sent back a picture of my son I had sent for him to see, signed. It is of my son eating dinner. He went through a phase for over a year where he would only eat if he had Skeletor with him. Mr. Oppenheimer wrote “Skeletor says enjoy your meals!” What a sweetheart to not only read but to reply to his fan mail. A rare breed.
Great range and so many voices. When I was a kid and paid attention to voice actors I overlooked him, I think because his voice isn't as obvious as many others, which just shows how talented he is.
@@tonycanabal1659 Also Paul Winchell, Dal McKennon, Howard Morris, Larry Storch and Janet Waldo. And counting people who started doing voicework from around 1969 onward, Frank Welker, Lennie Weinrib and Michael Bell.
Don’t forget about Outlaw Scuzz, Stampede, Professor Phantasmo from the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo and Mr. Jingles from Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf.
@@maximaldinotrap which was actually the reason why Shane Acker chose Alan Oppenheimer to Voice The Scientist in 9 over a big name actor for that specific reason
Neverending Story was my favorite movie when I was a kid and Falkor remains to this day one of my favorite characters ever. So imagine how excited I was to meet him last year at Tampa Bay Comic Con.
That’s awesome 😀 I haven’t seen The Neverending Story in decades. think I’m going to watch it tomorrow. It’s supposed to rain, it’ll be atmospheric. This has me amped!
As a kid sometimes voices have a familiar ring, but you can't quite put your finger on it. It's cool how in some of the other voices Skeletor or Man-At-Arms peaks out every so often and with others are absolutely unique. A true talent
I think mr. Oppenheimer is one of the few big 80s voice actors that's still gets work semi regularly, heck he's even slated to voice Moss Man in the new Netflix He-Man show coming out next year.
@Mister80Retro I saw the second one, "Second Wedding Workout" during its original prime time network broadcast. It was followed by a Hagar the Horrible special.
I'm surprised no one thought to give Alan Oppenheimer a role in the film Oppenheimer, even a brief cameo one. He is third cousins J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Actually, it was Lou Scheimer who voiced Mighty Mouse. Sources: animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/obscure-cartoon-spotlight-episode-6-quackula.5050751/ tviv.org/The_New_Adventures_of_Mighty_Mouse_and_Heckle_%26_Jeckle
NintendoGuy64 That's the Filmation Mighty Mouse cartoon from the late 1970's. In the original Mighty Mouse cartoons from the 1940's and the 1950's, I think Mighty Mouse was voiced by Tom Morrison, who was the head of the story department at Terrytoons. (And the Papa in the Terry Bears series was voiced by the janitor at Terrytoons. Shows you what a low budget (for theatrical cartoons) cartoon studio Terrytoons was.)
@@omanimoves6312 Lou Scheimer also voiced Dumb Donald in Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, and Droopy in The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show. (And probably other characters as well.)
One of my heroes this legend made my childhood awsome Saturday morning will nvr be the same again let's pray a cool young guy gets a channel and started re running and producing more new awsome content we need a hero to save the dead cartoon days cgi isn't the same inspector gadget looks like he's on acid it's hilariously bad
First saw Mr. Oppenheimer on The Six Million Dollar Man as Rudy Wells. Always liked him after that. I was blown away to see just how all over the entertainment (and sci-fi/fantasy) industry he was. Hated when he died.
There was an episode of The Smurfs where they had to team up with Gargamel in order to get a book back from a troll. The troll sounded like Skeletor after he had sucked helium. Did Alan Oppenheimer do the voice of the troll in that episode. Smurfs episode: The Fountain of Smurf.

How did he keep all those voices separate?? That's some true talent!!
He will always be rememberd as the voice of skeletor. Perhaps one of the most iconic villains from the 80s
Wat?
And ever
FALKOR!!!
Gmork
of course he will be remembered as skeletor you royal boob
Damn, he did like 80% of the voices on He Man
But who did the voice of He-Man?
@@mrmaxaxl John Erwin
@@maxpops8427 But who did the voice John Erwin?
@@jbohnoff Erwin Johnson the III
He practically WAS that cartoon.
Mr. Oppenheimer was really part of my childhood. Some of the best cartoons.
Mine too "Bro".
Dude so famous that even the Soviet copied he's idea

gmork in neverending story....EPIC..still chilling 30 years later...
Dude is the voice of my childhood... I wish i could thank him. :)
Hes definitly a legend made many people in the 80s 90s childhood
Great range and so many voices. When I was a kid and paid attention to voice actors I overlooked him, I think because his voice isn't as obvious as many others, which just shows how talented he is.
Oh crap, I had no idea he was Falkor in Neverending Story! That’s awesome!
That's crazy the amount of character's voices he's done. Most of my favorite childhood cartoons
check out mark hamils voices
Ahhh, back when "every voice actor on the planet" referred to exactly seven people.
?
Major voice actors, Mel, Daws, Don Messick, Casey , June, Paul Frees, Alan, and a few More. They were all Mentors to the many actors out today.
@tonycanabal1659 those as well as Bj Ward, Samantha Newark and Susan Blu
@@tonycanabal1659 Also Paul Winchell, Dal McKennon, Howard Morris, Larry Storch and Janet Waldo. And counting people who started doing voicework from around 1969 onward, Frank Welker, Lennie Weinrib and Michael Bell.
Man, I didn't realize this guys voice was in my head for my entire childhood! I had no idea he was this many characters. So cool!
One of the first voice actors ever and indeed a champion of them! He basically voiced half of Filmation characters
And he’s still alive damn 92 yrs old n still kicking
Neverending story is a classic.
Anthony Cohn it’s now on Netflix 😊
Obviously
I will always remember him as Skeletor.
...Vanity Smurf... was voiced by the same guy who voiced Falkor? You just blew my mind.
Skeletor and Gmork as well!!
Father Time in the Smurfs as well. They didn't snow that one.
@Donnie Darko
What blows my mind is that Falkor was voiced by the same guy who voiced Skeletor. Like WTF?! :O
He must've been a Filmation regular in his early years.
William Crowe he and Peter Cullen voiced all of Ghostbusters
@ uhh... John Earvin, anyone??
He was great as Primevil
As of Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers 2022, we can now say that he voiced He-Man.
Don’t forget about Outlaw Scuzz, Stampede, Professor Phantasmo from the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo and Mr. Jingles from Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf.
A voice from my childhood, that always bring back fond memories.
And, fun fact, Alan is a distant relation of Robert Oppenheimer!
Third cousins I believe
@@maximaldinotrap which was actually the reason why Shane Acker chose Alan Oppenheimer to Voice The Scientist in 9 over a big name actor for that specific reason
Wow!!! I admire his talent!
If you want to honor Alan check out the movie "9" is awesome.
Wow I never knew Alan did the voice of Falcor. That's incredible
Absolute god brings back so many memories
Neverending Story was my favorite movie when I was a kid and Falkor remains to this day one of my favorite characters ever. So imagine how excited I was to meet him last year at Tampa Bay Comic Con.

Wow! Quite the voice acting history!
It's insane to think all these voices came from the same person. Oppenheimer has impressive range.
Let me take this oppurtunity to thank you Mr Oppenheimer for making my childhood awesome.
Love from India
Hes got some of the most unique and wide vocal ranges that ive heard. Like i wouldnt have guessed that half of those characters were him.
Alan Oppenheimer; the voice of so much joy in my mind.
As a kid sometimes voices have a familiar ring, but you can't quite put your finger on it. It's cool how in some of the other voices Skeletor or Man-At-Arms peaks out every so often and with others are absolutely unique. A true talent
He also voice Darren the Ancient Sleeper from Adventure Time.

@@angelolavarria2762 oh really?
@@larniieplayz6285 yeah, and I'm really happy for that
I miss Saturday mornings, watching toons, it was something to look forward to.
Voice legend! And I met him as well, super nice guy! he also did Mr. Dithers in the Blondie & Dagwood specials if anyone besides me saw them! :D
@Mister80Retro I saw the second one, "Second Wedding Workout" during its original prime time network broadcast. It was followed by a Hagar the Horrible special.
3:11
He was in 9!!! That amazing! I grew up with that film!!
Allan was on Hogan's Heroes that was the 1960s
It was cool meeting him at LexCon 3 years ago
The desperation Alan showed in Westworld as his character along with crew were about to perish was terrifying.
The original Doctor Rudy Wells The Six Million Dollar Man.
*MMYEEEEEH!!*
Filmation Legend!
Skeletor!!!!!!!
He has also appeared in shows like Get Smart and Knight Rider.
Live-actionly, Alan Oppenheimer was on The Six Million Dollar Man, Knight Rider, St. Elsewhere, L.A. Law and Quantum Leap.
And Star Trek DS9-‘The Jem’ Hadar’ as Captain Declan Keogh.
He was brilliant in 3 Hogan's Heroes episodes, especially as the ham actor.
Wow! Another Phil Hartman. Probably saved them a lot of money being able to do all those different voices.
For this year, Happy 90th Birthday Alan Oppenheimer!
wow so many great voices I had no idea
Beachcomber and Seaspray he also voiced in Transformers
nobodysperfect06 given credit to the same guy who voices Merman, I'll tell you that much. I agree with you on this.
Multi talented! Wow and I remember all those characters.
Skeletor is Falcor. XD
2:19 "purrrr" if i was high id find this so fucking hilarious....I mean it already is....but
7:53-8:24 ...classic
9:51 ...favorite mini-bot
Best- Skeletor.
damn he is almost the entire series
He was also Ming the Merciless in Flash Gordon.
Yes! I remember Ming the Merciless and Skeletor sounding the same.
@@elizabethjordan5755 yup. He played Ming before he played Skeletor.
So when he voiced King Grayskull in 2021, he was channeling Man-at-Arms AND Skeletor. Well done sir.
Much like Frank Welker, thanks for the awesome childhood!!
alan oppenheimer also voiced dr polydorious in the "ninja turtles" cartoon episode "rebel without a fin"
sheepwolf2004 Yeah. He also said that Merlin was his other voice in the Legend of Prince Valiant.
"He man isn't evil. Why would he take my daughter?"
uhuhuhuh, uhuhuhuh, huhuhuhuhuh
I'm surprised no one thought to give Alan Oppenheimer a role in the film Oppenheimer, even a brief cameo one. He is third cousins J. Robert Oppenheimer.
2:09 Gearhead from Rick and Morty?

@@BobbyBickert-z6s I quite already know that by now.
My goodness, all these years I thought he had just voiced Vanity Smurf! This guy was as talented as Mel Blanc!
I think Mel was in his own class by himself.
@@scottashe984 Yes, Mel probably did do even more voices
He's Like A Timeline
GOLD!!
That Tarzan Lord Of The Jungle voice sounds like Alan Rickman.
I totally agree with you Ferval !...he sounds exactly like Alan Rickman.....:-)
awesome video 👍
He was also the main villain on Bravestar called Stampede .
He was also Handlebar, and Skuzz in addition to Stampede.
I can do his He-Man voices! I learned from the best! Mel Blank as well.
Chuffing hell what a great range of voices xd hats off to the man 🎩✨🔮
Seems it would be faster to list the characters he didn't voice on He-Man... wow!
LoL.... I love it!!!! I'm a kid again!
He should’ve had a cameo in Shazam he was the OG Dr Sivana!
Falcor is by far my favorite!
Myaah !!
He was also on Mama's Family as the mayor of Raytown
Wow...I had no idea that he was basically the Mel Blanc of the Masters of the Universe...thats crazy he did all those voices

If papyrus ever gets voice lines this guy better do them or heads will drop
yes yes yes
Don't forget he also voiced Seaspray and Beachcomber in G1 Transformers
Skeletor and Gmork !!! My hero’s
He also voiced Beachcomber and Seaspray in The Transformers.
Jacob Turner yeah, and the fun thing is that both Seaspray and Merman are both voiced by him too.
And Warpath
I knew all the voices were like one guy!!
"Nothing moves the blob." Where'd go?" 😂 👏
I like to see him. Did he come to Seattle?
Nostalgie: The Neverending Story💞
Just a small tip bit, in Adventure time he played Darryl the Sleeping Giant.
Wow this guy was amazing, how did he keep them separate??? And he is in every cartoon I liked wowser!!!
I didn't know he had 2 roles in Fraidy Cat.
First saw Mr. Oppenheimer on The Six Million Dollar Man as Rudy Wells. Always liked him after that.
I was blown away to see just how all over the entertainment (and sci-fi/fantasy) industry he was. Hated when he died.
According to Wikipedia and IMBD he is still alive.
@@Killashandra111 Wow. I would swear I saw an obit on him. Thank you. Cool!
@@tauntonlad Thought I saw it in my Google feed a couple of years ago, but I think I must have confused him with Martin Brooks.
5:28 That's Frank Welker
what about oomp, one of the goblin boomps from little nemo adventures in slumberland.
He also voiced in Big O.
So he voiced half of the He-Man characters
Alan Oppenheimer voiced of big jack long tom and the bounty hunter in the new adventures of the lone ranger in the episode the tall timber
There was an episode of The Smurfs where they had to team up with Gargamel in order to get a book back from a troll. The troll sounded like Skeletor after he had sucked helium. Did Alan Oppenheimer do the voice of the troll in that episode. Smurfs episode: The Fountain of Smurf.
The one and only Skeletor!
Ok, I never knew he was Falkor, Rockbiter, and G'mork!
