As Cap'n O. G. Readmore
When Cap'n O. G. Readmore debuted on the 30-60 second TV spots in 1983-'85, Frank Welker provided his voice for the character. However, during the production of Cap'n O. G. Readmore's Jack and the Beanstalk in 1985, ABC removed Welker and wanted Readmore to have a slightly reasonable voice rather than having a goofy one, so the company hired Neli Ross as the voice for Readmore.
