Portrayal
- Alan Reed was the original voice artist of Fred (minus the original short pilot where he was voiced by Daws Butler) until his death in 1977. Henry Corden, who had provided the singing voice for Reed (and Fred) in The Man Called Flintstone, took over until his death in 2005. Corden voiced Fred's father and mother in The Flintstone Kids. Jeff Bergman has voiced Fred a few times, including spoof appearances on Family Guy. The current "official" voice of Fred is James Arnold Taylor.
- In The Flintstone Kids, young Fred was voiced by both Lennie Weinrib and Scott Menville at different points.
- In the first live-action film, The Flintstones, Fred was played by John Goodman. In the prequel film The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, in which Fred is portrayed as younger than he was in the original, he was played by British actor Mark Addy.

Famous quotes containing the word portrayal:
“From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
