Don Messick

Don Messick was one of the most prolific American voice actors of the 20th century. A veteran voice actor for Hanna-Barbera, roles other than Scooby-Doo, include Papa Smurf from The Smurfs, Astro from The Jetsons, Boo Boo and Ranger Smith from Yogi Bear, and Dr. Quest from Jonny Quest. He was also Droopy on Tom & Jerry Kids and Hampton J. Pig on Tiny Toon Adventures.

During a recording session in 1996, he had a stroke and quit soon after. The following year, he died of a second stroke, at 71. Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island was dedicated to him as it was the first official Scooby-Doo production without him as the voice of Scooby-Doo and was succeeded by Scott Innes. Previously to that the Johnny Bravo crossover episode, Bravo Dooby-Doo, also had Hadley Kay as Scooby as Messick was too sick by then.

Laff-a-Lympics
Even though the show heavily used Scooby-Doo as its "star attraction", not every episode had his voice.

This marks the first TV series to acknowledge which character an actor has played, in this case, Messick as Scooby. He and Casey Kasem were the only two actors to reprise the roles they originated.

Arabian Nights
This is an anthology special, where Scooby isn't in every scene, but does play an intergral part. As a cash-in, Arabian Nights was later retitled, Scooby-Doo in Arabian Nights (and then Scooby-Doo! in Arabian Nights). Messick also voiced Boo-Boo Bear, but that is in a Yogi Bear segment of the film, which is not covered on the wiki.

Scooby-Doo in other media
Laff-a-Lympics was a show highlighted by Scooby-Doo('s involvement), so that doesn't count.
