Harold John "Hal" Smith (August 24, 1916 – January 28, 1994) was an American actor whose voice was familiar in both radio and animation for many years. After serving in World War II, he appeared on many television shows such as The Andy Griffith Show, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, and The Red Skelton Show. He also appeared occasionally in movies, such as Disney's Son of Flubber.
Smith was at his prime in animated voice-overs, however. On The Disney Afternoon, he was known for providing the voices of Gyro Gearloose and Flintheart Glomgold on DuckTales, and also voiced St. Peter in the Darkwing Duck episode "Dead Duck" and Santa Claus in the Bonkers episode "Miracle at the 34th Precinct". His other Disney credits included Goofy in several 1980s productions (prior to Bill Farmer becoming the character's official voice), Philippe the horse in Beauty and the Beast, and Owl in the original Winnie the Pooh shorts (Smith also briefly voiced Pooh himself after Sterling Holloway retired, from 1983 to 1986).
