Life and career

Innes was born in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. He became known as the new official voice of Scooby-Doo in the Scooby-Doo direct-to-video movies made between 1998 and 2001 because of Don Messick's death in 1997. From 1999 to 2001, he was also the official voice of Scooby's best friend and owner Norville "Shaggy" Rogers. His role was succeeded by Frank Welker (the voice of Fred Jones) in 2002; at the same time, Casey Kasem re-assumed the role of Shaggy, though Innes still provided the voices in video games and commercials until 2009. He also voiced Scrappy-Doo in the live action movie Scooby-Doo (2002). He voiced Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble in a Toshiba commercial from 2002, and even voiced Astro from the Jetsons in a 2003 series of Radio Shack commercials. Innes auditioned to replace the retired Casey Kasem to return as Shaggy for the new TV series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, but he lost the role to Matthew Lillard.
