The Associated Press reports that comedian and impressionist Fred Travalena died Sunday at his home in Encino from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of 66.

Travalena was known for imitating countless celebrities in his comedy act, but was best known as the voice of Bogey, the Orangutan who sounds like Humphrey Bogart on the 1982 NBC cartoon Shirt Tales. He also did voice work on shows like The Jetsons, Dragon's Lair, Dinosaurs, and The Smurfs among others.
