On July 27th, Orlando Drummond, the original Brazilian Scooby Doo VA, passed away at 101 years old. On July 30th, three days later, the original Brazilian Shaggy VA, Mario Monjardim, passed away as well. He was 86.
I know a few Brazilian Scooby fans, and that Scooby is beloved in that country. Those voice actors played those characters for years and years in the Portuguese dubs. They will be dearly missed. I don't speak Portuguese, but here's a video of the two of them, and they speak in-character for a minute. You can tell they were great friends.
I hear Mario say "meu filho" at one point in this video, which is what my friend told me Brazilian Shaggy often calls Scooby, and it translates to "my son". I love that, that's so sweet to me.
