Hadley Kay (born February 22, 1973) is a Canadian actor, film director, screenwriter, animator and musician. He is the voice of Sprout Goat (except "The Sleepover") and Dennis Elephant on The Busy World of Richard Scarry. He also did other works like the first voice of Tommy from The Raccoons specials and other shows.
Biography[]
At age six, he was already a veteran stage performer. He made his film debut opposite Bill Murray in the 1979 comedy, Meatballs.
Kay also appeared in Superman II (as a young boy who takes a near-fatal plunge at Niagara Falls but is caught by the Man of Steel), the Star Wars-based animated series Ewoks, Inspector Gadget, Beverly Hills Teens (as surfer-dude Radley), and the earlier The Raccoons specials (as Tommy; he guest-voiced "Bix Wheelie" in season 3).
Kay was the first voice actor to provide the voice of Scooby-Doo, following the death of Don Messick; Kay voiced Scooby in 1997 in the Johnny Bravo episodes "Bravo Dooby Doo" and "'Twas the Night Before Christmas", and in some commercials during that same year.
His other television credits include guest appearances in The Littlest Hobo (the 2-part episode, "The Five Labours of Hercules" in 1983), Bizarre, and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.
Currently, he is the voice of Nurzak in the popular anime series, Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders.
He also played five other roles – Razenoid, Radizen, Roxtor, Stronk, and Mandibor – in Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge.
