I'm embarrased to waste bandwith on this, but................... Yes! Jim Backus
WAS the Mr. Magoo voice. Just thought ya would like to know.

I think both have been seen here, but I don't think they were ever very

I think Gilligan's Island has been here too, though I never saw it.
Fortunately, I no longer have a television. This makes me a continual
target for the licensing authority, whose letters I am now refusing to
answer at all.
There was a TV actor called *Jim* Backus, but I don't associate him with
Mr Magoo.
