Alan was on radio before TV. He didn’t have the range of Mel Blanc, but as we saw here he didn’t seem to hurt for work.

Even before his career in cartoons and animated films, Alan Reed was a character actor on many different radio shows in the 1940s and '50s.

@@nicoleknight9412 Yes, Alan Reed was the voice of Shrevy the cabbie in several episodes, but many actors voiced that role over the show's run.

CSB: When I was a kid, I found out that I could check out cassettes of vintage radio shows from the library. I picked one at random called "Life with Luigi", from the 1940s, which included some guy named Alan Reed as one of the actors. I thought that guy sounded a lot like Fred Flintstone. This was the 70's and there was no Internet, so I had to wait until a local channel ran the Flintstones in syndication, and I discovered from the credits that Alan Reed was in fact Fred Flintstone. So his voice had been famous for decades.

Alan Reed was Flintstones. didn't know he did lady and the tramp nor did I know he voiced did Dum Dum/Hippety Hopper

I had no idea Alan Reed was in Lady and the Tramp! That was so cool!

He also had a cameo on Batman (Adam West version). I could blatantly hear Fred Flintstone coming out of him. XD

Allen Reed Fred Flintstones show, thank for share that had others voice on different show cartoons. God bless him up in heaven now.

Ideas for many voices of series: Dan Castelenetta (for the Simpson's 30th Anniversary and my #1 voice acting champion) Tom Kenny (for Spongebobs 20th Anniversary) Jodi Benson (for The Little Mermaids 30th Anniversary) Jess Harnell (to complete the animaniacs trio) Janice Kawaye (voice of Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot) Grey Deslile Griffin Debi Derryberry Bill Faggerbakke (the voice of Patrick Star from Spongebob)

I have thousands of Old Time Radio episodes on my hard drives. Every once in a while the unforgettable voice of Alan Reed pops up. This was great to see some of the many "visual" role voices he was. Thank you for this.

This is tribute video is yabba-dabba terrific Tim! Alan Reed will always be my favorite Fred Flinstone in my book!😉

Alan Reed was a veteran radio actor trying to transition to television character roles, and it wasn't working out well for him. Meanwhile, Hanna and Barbera were at their wit's end trying to find just the right voice for Fred Flintstone. As the story goes, asked for an example of what they wanted, one of them said "Well, there was this radio actor back in New York..." Following a pregnant pause, they said "Hey, wait a minute!" And the rest is history...

Fantastic voice actor

It's amazing how you can hear Alan Reed in every character, yet every character is so different.

If you listen closely, while watching the Jonny Quest cartoons you can tell he did a number of voices for them as well

I know him as the voice of Fred Flintstone on the Flintstones. When I hear Alan Reed I always think of Fred Flintstone.

RIP Alan Reed was the voice of Boris in "Lady and the Tramp" and Fred Flintstone in "The Flintstones".

On The Flintstones Cartoon, it titled Tycoon as Season 1, episode 22. There are 2 Fred Flintstones, and that look alike, and both voiced by Alan Reed.

WOW! Amazing! I had no idea about other characters he voiced.

Alan Reed IS the only Fred Flintstone for me. What a great voice talent. Totally miss him.

What a treat this was! I knew most of the programs but had no idea Alan Reed had such a variety of voices in his repertoire. Thanks for compiling this!

R.I.P. Alan Reed

Fred. Gotta love the guy. Barney did. Wilma did. Pebbles did. (Dino did in his own special "smashing" way.)

Love these videos! You learn so much about these iconic characters you grew up listening too :-).

Thank you for your voice and rip sir

I enjoyed watching Alan Reed Sr and Jr in the last episode of the Gertrude Berg Show called "Mrs. G. Goes to College" also sometimes known as the Gertrude Berg show...Alan Sr played a Polish father who his son (who already changed his name to sound more "American" to Quentin Richards) was so embarrassed of his father's job and accent that he didn't even want him to come to the Dad's Weekend at the college....It ends well and is a nice episode to see both dad and son in....I think the title was "Dad's Day"....

Alan Reed was a guest once on the Mel Blanc (radio) Show. Two masters of vocal characterization in the same place at the same time!

He was a Ham... before & After & during the Flintstones he Acted in front of the Camera, or was the Voice of Fred Flintstone, or another Character, but Also did Radio during its Golden Age, as well as T.V. A Jack of All Trades, with his Voice & Appearences in Front of a Camera.

Eventually do a video for Henry Corden, he was Alan Reed's successor as Fred Flintstone, he passed in 2005, he did lots of voice work for other cartoons as well

Between Mel Blanc & Alan Reed , the 2 original MASTERS of voice acting..

I have heard him on Your’s Truly, Johnny Dollar, Richard Diamond Private Detective, and Life with Luigi

For the record, Reed only voiced Fillmore Bear for one episode of Uncle Waldo and Hoppity Hooper. Bill Scott, the program's co-producer, took his place.

Not during the video, but on this title where it says the many voices of Alan Reed 1907 through 1977 with Fred Flintstone on the lower left hand side with his left hand up in the air. And a black and white close up photo of Alan Reed, at a quick glance, this photo looks pretty much like Chuck Schumer.

Never knew he did work for Disney as well.

Great video!

Thank you for loving my comment Saturday, but I was serious about doing video that Bea Benaderet did. For example, Looney Tunes and The Flintstones was one of them.

How about Henry Corden 1920-2005?😊

Wowwwwwwwwww I never knew that Alan reed was such a voiceover cartoon genius I used to watch his cartoons back in the day who knew that Alan reed ranks up there with Mel Blanc and Henry Corden I had once saw Alan reed,s face on an episode of Batman but it blows me away that this guy was a cartoon god you learn something 🆕 everyday

It’s real sad that Alan passed away aged between 69 and 70… :-(

I wish that you could've included more clips of his role as Fred.

Awesome

I love him as Fred.

Greatness!

Thanks lots. :)

He was great with accents. Love his natural New York accent.

You know who else I love and miss? Muppets creator Jim henson, and actor John Ritter. Do you think you can do one for both of them sometime?

A Hanna and Barbara GEM!

Never knew he did voicework for Goofy cartoons as well. And you have me really intrigued about 'The Shinbone Alley'! I never heard of it before!

You should’ve added his cameo voice as a lion tamer in Hanna Barbara’s “ Greatest adventures from the bible” in the episode “Daniel in the lions den” awesome voice. A lot of them surprised me!

*Fred always reminded me of Jackie Gleason.* His voice even reminded me of Gleason. ...and the show somewhat like the "Honeymooners". I adored both and got to watch them in re-runs and Saturday Morning Cartoons as a child growing up in the 1960's and 70's. Wonder what kids do on Saturday Mornings now? They didn't stop being kids just cause era's move forward. We've a great deal of Imagination missing inbth8svera, replaced by toxic flow from News Media, "the propaganda hub for creating a false reality" *Folks be well served to "take back their Power" i.e., "Thoughts", and be particular who and what is allowed to take root in between their ears.*

That’s only the tip of the iceberg, since it doesn’t even include his radio roles.

Cool stuff

That....was....AWESOME

I can't unsee Fred Flintstone after watching this clip.

reed was also the wrestling manager in the very funny Boston stronghold episode on the Beverly hillbillies.

Henry Corden can be heard in an episode of The Flintstones, "Dino and Juliet", playing an obnoxious new neighbor named Loudrock. So you get to hear both voices of Fred Flintstone (usually arguing with each other).

What about Hardin, villian in "Jonny Quest" episode 12, "The Dreadful Doll"? It just dawned on me one day, "Hey, that's Fred Flintstone." I'm sure he did many voicings over the years.

A lot of people don't know this by acting legend Bea Bernadette did the voice of Betty Rubble and Jean Van der fil did the voice of Wilma Flintstone and Rosie the Robot on the Jetsons!

In many interviews, Alan Reed explained how cartoonist for The Flintstones drew their characters and scenes around the sound of their recorded voices. I didn't realize how much Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble look like Alan Reed and Mel Blanc themselves.....😏

That's not Alan Reed doing those voices! That's Fred Flintstone!
