The Pillsbury Doughboy
Although you may know this character as a boy made out of lumps of dough, the real artist behind this little bakery man was vocal actor Paul Frees. During the 1960s, Frees voiced the iconic Pillsbury Doughboy mascot, but he did a ton more voice acting work prior to this gig.

Frees had a lot of voice acting experience. He voiced both Rudolph and Frosty in the movie Rudolph & Frosty, he voiced Santa in Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and he even voiced Jack Frost in the aptly named film Jack Frost. But, his most profitable achievement remains as being the Pillsbury Dough Boy. He earned one million dollars, appearing in plenty of ads as the little white creature throughout the 1960s.
