Mr. Luke also did voice over work for the first few (don't rememeber how many exactly) "Godzilla" films when they were imported over here. He and Geroge Takei did most of the male voices. Keye Luke is an absolute talent.

I'm a poor Lonesome Cowboy....

Oh wait, that was Lucky Luke.

I gotta see one of those old Space Ghosts with Brak in it. Talk about someone giving him a completely different voice.

Here you go, Drtooth. Here's a link to an original Space Ghost episode featuring Keye Luke as the original Brak.
