Erwin was the voice of He-Man in the
Filmation productions
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe that ran from 1983 to 1986. Due to the extreme cost-cutting by
Filmation, the cast of voice actors was small, and producer
Lou Scheimer actually performed the bulk of the character voices. Erwin was also the voice of the henchman character
Beast Man, and would on occasion do the voices of other supporting characters, too, such as Webstor and Ram Man. Although generally recognized for his work on
He-Man, Erwin has many years of voice acting to his credit (including the voice of
Reggie Mantle in Filmation's
Archie cartoons), and has provided voices for many productions ranging from television advertisements to live-action movies since the 1960s. He was the voice of
Morris the Cat from 9Lives cat food in several television commercials. From 1959 to 1965, he starred as Teddy in the television Western
Rawhide. In 1989, his voice was heard as a radio newscaster in
Back to the Future Part II and as a football announcer in the 2000
Disney movie
Remember the Titans. He also did small spot roles in various
Hanna-Barbera episodes for different shows (such as Hanna-Barbera's animated series
The Thing) and others, going uncredited. ==Personal life and death==
