The sound of his voice is probably heard at least once a day in households with children across the world, but are they jumping up and shouting "Yes! That's Pinto Colvig!" No, and that's showbiz. Born Vance D. Colvig near the end of the 19th century, Pinto Colvig was a voice artist from the golden era of cartoons. He worked regularly with Walt Disney, and was primarily responsible for the voice of %Goofy. He also worked the voices of several of the dwarves who befriended %Snow White in the original Disney classic of animation, including %Grumpy. Mean, unfriendly characters such as this became one of his specialties, and he excelled at outright villains. He created the unforgettable beast of a bad guy %Bluto during his relationship with cartoon director Max Fleischer, who directed the first and best series of %Popeye cartoons. Another great Colvig bad guy, or should it be bad bug, was %Mr. Creeper in the cartoon film #Hoppity Goes to Town.
