does anyone know who did popeyes voice?

He had several voices in the cartoons // William "Red Pepper Sam" Costello: He was the first voice actor to portray Popeye beginning in 1933 with "Popeye the Sailor" and ending with "You Gotta be a Football Hero" in 1935. It's been said that he let success get to his head and became kind of a jerk, so he was fired and replaced by Jack Mercer. Popeye's voice is definitely a lot meaner in these early Popeye cartoons than it would be with later voice actors.

//Jack Mercer: The standard "Popeye". Jack Mercer did Popeye for most of Popeye's theatrical cartoon career. He's a lot funnier and easier to take than Costello's Popeye voice. What really made Mercer's Popeye voice acting stand out was that he added the under-the-breath mutterings which developed funnier dialogue as well as Popeye's personality: gruff and grumbly. Personally, he's my favorite Popeye. He started in 1935 with "The Hyp-Nut-Tist" and ended with the very last Popeye cartoon for Famous Studios called "Spooky Swabs" in 1957. There were a handful of cartoons during this 22 year period that he did not voice due to his military service in WWII. // Mae Questel: Did the voice of Popeye AND Olive Oyl for a little while. She was Popeye in 1945's "Shape Ahoy" and I'm sure she did Popeye in a few others. She actually did a pretty good job and really sounded like a man, but it still wasn't the same. I'll research for more details and fill this in later.// Harry Welch: Did Popeye for most of the time Jack Mercer was away. He was Popeye from 1945s "For Better or Nurse" to 1946s "Peep in the Deep". His voice of Popeye is noticably different and I really don't care for it that much. Mercer's grumbling and odd-talk seems to come out more natural where Welch's definitely sounds forced. Hope this answers your question .

Popeyes Voice

Originally in the first few cartoons, William Costello, aka, Red Pepper Sam did the voice. He was fired early on. The voice that is best known is that of Jack Mercer who was an in-betweener at the studio. He was responsible for all the mumbling and asides and the great Popeye laugh. Olive's voice was done by Mae Questel who also did Betty Boop's voice. Gus Wickie did the original voice of Bluto. During the war when Mercer was overseas, Mae Questel did Popeye's voice for 6 or 7 cartoons!
