ES-2094

Early in Filmation's history, Scheimer

also contributed a number of guest or secondary voices for the various

productions. Amongst these was the voice of N'kima,

Tarzan's monkey companion in Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle (1976–81).

Scheimer played a significant role in the creation of the cartoon He-Man and

the Masters of the Universe and Bravestarr. Aside from being the executive producer, he was

also co-credited for the series' musical score under the pseudonym "Erika

Lane" (which combined the names of his daughter Erika and son Lane), and it had also been used as a character name

on the 1967 Filmation series Fantastic Voyage. He became a voice actor for the show (as he had done for many of his

company's previous productions), going under the pseudonym "Erik

Gunden". The last name was taken from his father's original (which was later shortened to Sheimer). The first

name was Lou's middle name, which he was not given by his parents, but instead

by his wife Jay, who felt that he should have one. Scheimer's contribution to

the cast was in fact most notable as he voiced several supporting characters,

including Orko (and other

characters with a similar Smurfs-voice), Stratos, King

Randor and others. The reason producer Lou Scheimer performed the voices for so

many supporting characters was that the 'official' voice actors were contracted

to perform no more than three different voices per episode. And since there

were usually only three regular cast members working on each show, Lou would

fill in the rest of the male cast. This is also why his wife Jay and

daughter Erika did various

small parts in the first season of He-Man. During the second season

of He-Man, and all of She-Ra, Erika Scheimer received an onscreen credit as an

actor and also directed the voice actors, and she and her father would record

the remaining voices on their own later, because Lou did not see himself as a

'proper' actor and was ashamed of recording together with the other voice

actors due to severe budget restrictions. The animated series also pioneered a

type of programming known as first-run syndication.

Also a first was the storyline being based on an action figure toy; prior to this time, FCC regulations

had prohibited any type of children's programming being based on a toy.

Scheimer transformed He-Man from a graphically violent version

of Conan the Barbarian into

a pro-social character, who imparted a life lesson to impressionable viewers in

each episode. Scheimer's

daughter Erika also performed supporting female voices and occasional

voice-acting for young boy characters. She would later star in the follow-up

series She-Ra, which Scheimer also produced. Lou was also credited for helping to compose

the theme music for both his pseudonym 'Erika Lane'. In the late 1990s, Scheimer returned to the

field of animation. A Dutch investment company, Dreamweavers, NV., approached

Lou with a concept based on an off-kilter Dutchman's renderings of characters

aimed at young adults. Scheimer went into production on Robin and the

Dreamweavers, an animated feature film. Robin, the first human ever born in cyberspace,

battled the evil siren Triple XXX who desired an earthly body and gained power

through mankind's baser carnal desires. The film, however, was never

distributed. Also, this animated movie is an adult animated movie like

any Ralph Bakshi movie. Scheimer

also provided consultation work for Gang of Seven (G7) Animation. The Lou

Scheimer Gallery at the ToonSeum, a museum of comic and cartoon art in

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is named in his honor.
