Orlando Drummond Cardoso (18 October 1919 – 27 July 2021) was a Brazilian actor and comedian, best known for his works as Seu Peru in the sitcom Escolinha do Professor Raimundo[1] and also as the voice of the dubbed versions of Scooby-Doo, ALF, and Popeye.

Life and career

Drummond was born in Rio de Janeiro on 18 October 1919. He began working in 1942 as a foley artist and, with help from Paulo Gracindo, started his dubbing career.[2] He also worked as an actor in the films Rei do Movimento (1954) and Angu de Caroço (1955), but he is primarily known for his dubbing works during the 1950s. He acted also in the telenovela Caça Talentos as Zarathustra from 1996 to 1998.[3]

He died on 27 July 2021 from multiple organ failure, at the age of 101.[4] He had also been hospitalised for a urinary tract infection three months before his death.[5] Perhaps as an incredible coincidence, his long-standing friend Mário Monjardim Filho (who voiced Shaggy Rogers, Scooby-Doo's best friend) died only 3 days after Drummond's passing.
