answer: James Arness
context: Title: The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound
  Passage: The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound is a 1988 animated made-for-television film produced by Hanna-Barbera for syndication as part of the "Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10" series.  The feature is a parody of various western movies, the title is a take-off of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", and a major plot point is lifted from "High Noon".  The constant references to Huckleberry as a "mysterious, steely-eyed, and silent-type stranger" (though Huck is just being himself) spoof the western stock character of the Man with No Name.  Several other plot points are lifted from well-known western films, such as "High Plains Drifter".  The film also marks the final time Daws Butler voiced Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw and Baba Looey, Snagglepuss, Hokey Wolf, Peter Potamus, and Yogi Bear, as he died 3 days after its telecast from a heart attack.
