According to Wikipedia, ( I know, I know) Dick Beals died yesterday at the age of 85. He was remembered for many years of voice work, with Davey and Goliath with Hal Smith in the 1960's. He played Nicolas Adamsworth on AIO a few times. He was in his 60's playing a pre teenager.
He was a pretty good character.

For some reason I thought he was older and had already passed away. Glad to know he lived longer than I expected. Rest in peace all the same, he did a lot of great voice work.
I remember being amazed when I first read that Nicholas Adamsworth was played by an older gentleman. That was a long time ago and he seemed old then already, but making it to 85 is quite an accomplishment! Thanks for the link, Jimmy. It sounds like he will definitely be missed.
I found a nice little article about him. Click here.

He had a glandular condition that affected his growth, giving him that iconic voice and keeping him to just 4 feet 6 inches tall.Catspaw wrote:I remember being amazed when I first read that Nicholas Adamsworth was played by an older gentleman.
