Voice Actor
Don Messick voiced Hamton through the show's run which was his last major role. He retired in 1996 and died on October 24 1997 of a stroke. After him Billy West took over the role (who's also the new voice for another Messick character: Muttley) and voiced Hamton in the Kids' WB promos and the video games Toonenstein: Dare to Scare and Defenders of the Looniverse.
Hamton is also known for being the best basketball player in Tiny Toon Adventures Acme All-Stars video game on Sega Genesis.

Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or actor:
“Sincerity and the correct use of the voice are the greatest things in the art of acting.”
—Alla Nazimova (1879–1945)
“An actor rides in a bus or railroad train; he sees a movement and applies it to a new role. A woman in agony of spirit might turn her head just so; a man in deep humiliation probably would wring his hands in such a way. From straws like these, drawn from completely different sources, the fabric of a character may be built. The whole garment in which the actor hides himself is made of small externals of observation fitted to his conception of a role.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
