The Beatnik Poet, (around the 14 minute mark), was played by Ron Thompson, who also played the pivotal dual roles of the characters, Tony and Pete in director Ralph Bakshi's 1981 animated classic, "American Pop". Also from the "American Pop" alumnus in this production was Richard (Rick) Singer, who played Tony's late War Hero father, Benny, in that underrated gem of a movie. In "This Ain't Beebop", Singer was a producer and had a small role in it too.
