Joe's best remembered Saturday morning cartoon voiceover character: Babu. |
His most popular character, which was tailor made for him, was Babu, the apprentice genie, on Hanna-Barbera's Saturday morning animated series, Jeannie (1973).
The series also gave Joe the opportunity to work opposite a young actor, Mark Hamill, who in just four years would be cast as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars!
