Mystery Incorporated, it was revealed that Fred's father Fred Jones Sr. In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and Scooby-Doo! Haunted Holidays, he is called Frederick, while in Scooby-Doo! Adventures: The Mystery Map, he is called Fredward. Being cast as Fred led to the start of a long, prolific career in voice work for Welker, with Scooby-Doo being his first voice acting job.įred Jones has been given two different first names. Frank Welker, a young comedian and impressionist, was asked by the network to audition for the voice of Fred, although he had originally intended to audition for first Scooby-Doo (whom he eventually did get to voice after Don Messick died in 1997) and later Shaggy ( Casey Kasem, who was cast as Shaggy, had originally wanted to voice Fred). Originally named "Ronnie" when production for Scooby-Doo began in spring 1969, Fred was named by and after Fred Silverman, who was then head of daytime programming at CBS and a key member of the show's development team. Some network sales presentation art from an early version of Scooby-Doo, entitled Who's S-S-Scared?, featured early designs of Fred with brown hair Development įrank Welker (Pictured in 2020) has been consistently voicing Fred Jones since the show's inception in 1969.įred Jones was inspired by the titular character of the late 1950s/early 1960s American sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, as played by Dwayne Hickman. In What's New, Scooby-Doo?, the teenage version of Fred is shown to have many interests such as traps, martial arts, wrestling, and weightlifting. In each episode, Fred would blame the crime on the neighborhood bully, Red Herring (a play on the idiom red herring). In A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, Fred was depicted as being somewhat less intelligent and often believed crazy conspiracy theories and legends such as Bigfoot and mole people and read the magazine The National Exaggerator. He was voted "Best Looking" in school and was once part of a performance troupe before he devoted himself to solving mysteries.
Although generally a very nice and handsome guy, Fred can be bossy at times forcing Shaggy and Scooby to take part in nabbing the villain despite their fears and/or better judgment.Īccording to Scooby-Doo: Behind the Scenes, his boyhood nickname was "Pickle". When searching for clues, Fred and Daphne usually go together with Velma coming along, but sometimes Fred and Daphne pair off, leaving Velma to go with Shaggy and Scooby. Fred usually takes the lead in solving mysteries. He is often shown constructing various Rube Goldberg traps for villains, which Scooby-Doo or Shaggy often set off by mistake, causing the villain to be captured in another way. In the 2002 series What's New, Scooby-Doo?, Fred's outfit was given an update, with his orange ascot being replaced with a blue stripe. In the 1990s direct-to-video films, Fred generally wears a light blue shirt. In the original series, Fred wears an orange neckerchief with a blue shirt and white sweater. In most series, Fred wears a white and/or blue shirt and blue pants.
