Originally, the one-eyed sailorman was voiced by vaudevillean William Costello, aka "Red Pepper Sam." However, working with Costello proved to be more trouble than it was worth, and subsequently, after the first 25 cartoons, he was dismissed from the job. The voice of Popeye was then taken over by Jack Mercer, who had been working at the Fleischer studios and who had been overheard doing good imitations of the Popeye voice. The familiar gravelly voice interspersed with the hilarious "mumblings" to himself was perfected by Mercer, who stayed with it until his death in the 1970s. A few other voice artists did the Popeye voice when, for instance, Mercer was serving in World War II. But the voice that we really remember was made famous by Jack Mercer.
