'''Charles Dawson "Daws" Butler''' (* [[16. November]] [[1916]] in [[Toledo (Ohio)|Toledo]], [[Ohio]], † [[18. Mai]] [[1988]] in [[Culver City]], [[Kalifornien]]) war ein [[Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika|US-amerikanischer]] [[Synchronsprecher]] und [[Schauspieler]], der hauptsächlich [[Zeichentrickfilm|Zeichentrickfiguren]] von [[Hanna-Barbera]], darunter [[Barney Geröllheimer]], [[Yogi Bär]] oder [[Huckleberry Hound]], seine Stimme lieh.

==Early life and career Frühe Karierre ==
'''Daws Butler''' was born on November 16, 1916 in Toledo, Ohio, the only child of Ruth Butler and Charles Allen Butler. The family later moved from Ohio to Oak Park, Chicago, where Butler got interested in impersonating people.<ref>http://www.dawsbutler.com/bio-daws.htm</ref>

In 1957, MGM closed their animation division, and producers [[William Hanna]] and [[Joseph Barbera]] found themselves unemployed. They quickly formed [[Hanna-Barbera|their own company]], and Daws Butler and Don Messick were on-hand to provide voices. The first, ''[[The Ruff & Reddy Show]]'', set the formula for the rest of the series of cartoons that the two would helm until the mid-1960s.

The characters with voices by Butler from 1957 to 1978 included:
*[[Chilly Willy|"Bring 'Em Back Alive" Clive]]
(contracted; show full)gt. Blast, Peter Perfect, and Rufus Ruffcut. On ''[[Laff-a-Lympics]]'', Butler was virtually the entire "Yogi Yahooey" team.  He voiced a penguin and a turtle in the movie ''[[Mary Poppins (film)|Mary Poppins]]'', his only known work for Disney. Along with [[Stan Freberg]], [[Paul Frees]] and [[June Foray]], Butler also provided voices for countless children's records featuring recreations of several successful Disney cartoons and films.

==Inspiration
en==
Butler based some of his voices on popular celebrities of the day. Yogi Bear began as an [[Art Carney]] impression; Butler had done a similar voice in several of [[Robert McKimson]]'s films at Warner Brothers and Stan Freberg's comedy record "The Honey-Earthers." However, Butler soon changed Yogi's voice, making it much deeper and more sing-songy, thus making it a more original voice.  Hokey Wolf began as an impression of [[Phil Silvers]], and Snagglepuss as [[Bert Lahr]]. In fact, when Snagglepuss began appearing in commercials for [[Kellogg's]] [[Cocoa Krispies]] in 1961, Lahr threatened to sue Butler for "stealing" his voice.  As part of the settlement, the disclaimer "Snagglepuss voice by Daws Butler" was required to appear on each commercial, making him the only voice actor ever to receive one in an animated TV commercial.  Again, Butler redesigned these voices, making them his own inventions.  Huckleberry Hound was inspired many years earlier, in 1945, by a North Carolina neighbor of Daws' wife's family, and he had in fact been using that voice for a long time, for Avery's laid-back wolf and Lantz's Smedley.

==Later lifSpätere Jahre==
Butler remained somewhat low-key in the 1970s and 1980s, until a 1985 revival of ''[[The Jetsons]]''. Also in 1983, he voiced the title character, Wacky WallWalker in ''[[Wacky WallWalker|Deck the Halls with Wacky Walls]]''. In 1975, Butler began an acting workshop that spawned such talents as [[Nancy Cartwright (actress)|Nancy Cartwright]] (''[[The Simpsons]]''), [[Corey Burton]] (Old Navy, [[Disney]]), and [[Joe Bevilacqua]] ([[NPR]]).

In the year of his death, ''[[The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound]]'' was released, a tour-de-force featuring most of his classic early characters.

==Personal life and deathönliches==
He was married to Myrtis Martin from the 1940s to 1988, whom he had met and married while he was in the [[United States Navy]] during [[World War II]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.s9.com/Biography/Daws-Butler |title=Daws Butler's biography on |publisher=S9.com |date= |accessdate=2010-09-09}}</ref> They had four sons, David Butler, Don Butler, Paul Butler and Charles Butler. Butler died from a [[Myocardial infarction|heart attack]] on May 18, 1988. Many of his roles were assumed by [[Greg Burson]], who had personally studied with Butler for years.

==LegacyVermächtnis==
Daws Butler trained many voice actors including [[Nancy Cartwright]] (the voice of [[Bart Simpson]]), [[Corey Burton]] (the voice of Dale in ''[[Chip 'n' Dale]]'') and [[Joe Bevilacqua]] (whom Butler personally taught how to do all of his characters). Butler's voice and scripts were a frequent part of Bevilacqua's now-defunct XM show.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://comedyorama.com |title=The Comedy-O-Rama Hour |publisher=Comedyorama.com |date= |accessdate=2010-09-09}}</ref> Bevilacqua also wrote Butler's official biography, published by Bear Manor Media.<ref>[http://bearmanormedia.bizland.com/id20.html Daws Butler - Characters Actor], BearManor Media</ref> A new book of cartoon scripts written by Daws Butler and Joe Bevilacqua, ''Uncle Dunkle and Donnie: Fractured Fables'', was scheduled for publication in the fall of 2009. A four-volume, 4½-hour audio set of ''Uncle Dunkle and Donnie'' was to be released simultaneously with Bevilacqua performing all 97 characters in 35 stories. Butler also trained [[Hal Rayle]], who ultimately determined that his best-known character of Doyle Cleverlobe from ''[[Galaxy High School]]'' should sound like Elroy Jetson after he finished [[puberty]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://galaxyhigh86.tripod.com/halrayle.html |title=The Galaxy High Website! |publisher=Galaxyhigh86.tripod.com |date= |accessdate=2010-09-09}}</ref>

==Mediaen==
*The video ''Daws Butler: Voice Magician'' is a 1987 documentary of Butler's career from his pre-MGM days on up through his teaming with Freberg in 1949 and the teaming with [[Don Messick]] in 1957. It was originally seen as a PBS pledge-drive special.

*Former Butler protege [[Joe Bevilacqua]] used to host a radio series on XM Satellite Radio's Sonic Theater Channel called ''The Comedy-O-Rama Hour'' which features a regular segment called ''What the Butler Wrote: Scenes from the Daws Butler Workshop'' with rare scripts of Daws performed by his students, including [[Nancy Cartwright]], and rare recordings of Daws himself. Bevilacqua has also co-authored (with Ben Ohmart) the authorized biography book ''Daws Butler, Characters Actor'', and edited the book ''Scenes for Actors and Voices'' written by Daws Butler, both published by Bear Manor Media.

*Butler once appeared as a contestant on [[Groucho Marx]]'s ''You Bet Your Life.''  The studio audience did not recognize him until he began doing Huckleberry Hound's voice.  Butler and his partner split the top prize of $10,000.

*In 1985, Daws Butler was interviewed about his career on radio by [[Dr. Demento]].
