Lou Fleischer (May 18, 1889 － October 16, 1982) was an American arranger, composer, and brother of Max and Dave Fleischer. He was the head of the Fleischer Studios Music Department[1] until the company was reorganized as Famous Studios Paramount Pictures in 1942. He is thought to have been the voice J. Wellington Wimpy in "I WANNA BE A LIFE GUARD Popeye in 1936.
Following his dismissal at the changeover to Famous Studios, he worked as a Lens Grinder for the World War II effort, and later worked for the Army Signal Corps Film Unit in New York. For a short period in the 1940s he did scoring for George Pal and taught piano while residing in Redondo Beach, California until his retirement in the late 1960s.
