Norm Prescott has died at the age of 78. A former disc jockey (he worked alongside Bob & Ray at WHDH in Boston, among other gigs), Prescott moved to Hollywood and into film production. In 1962, he partnered with Hal Sutherland and Lou Scheimer to form Filmation Studios, which produced hundreds of episodes of animated TV shows — including Superman, Fat Albert, Masters of the Universe, the animated Star Trek and various and sundry Archie shows — and even a number of live-action series before it closed down in 1989. Here's a list of them. Norm's smooth radio voice did not go to waste, as he could be heard speaking for characters in almost every Filmation show and often functioning as announcer/narrator. I'll link to the only obit I was able to find online.
