He is best known for providing the voices for the characters of Droopy, Spike, and Barney Bear in various cartoons produced by MGM from the 1940s through the 1950s.

He then became a staff announcer for NBC in Chicago, where he met Jack Benny and became a regular on his show. Thompson's other voice roles included Uncle Waldo in "The Aristocats" and White Rabbit in "Alice in Wonderland." He also lent his voice to several television commercials, including for Kellogg's cereals and Peter Pan peanut butter. Thompson's deep, gravelly voice and talent for creating distinct character voices made him one of the most recognized and in-demand voice actors of his time.

He eventually moved to Hollywood to pursue his voice acting career full-time. In addition to his work in film and radio, Thompson also had a successful stage career, appearing in productions such as "The Time of Your Life" and "Detective Story."
