Innes was born in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.
He became known as the new official voice of Scooby-Doo in the Scooby-Doo direct-to-video movies made between 1998 and 2001 because of Don Messick"s death in 1997. His role was succeeded by Frank Welker (the voice of Fred Jones) in 2002. At the same time, Casey Kasem re-assumed the role of Shaggy, though Innes still provided the voices in video games and commercials until 2009.
He also voiced Scrappy-Doo in the live action movie Scooby-Doo (2002).
He voiced Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble in a Toshiba commercial from 2002, and even voiced Astro from the Jetsons in a 2003 series of Radio Shack commercials. Innes auditioned to replace the retired Casey Kasem to return as Shaggy for the new television series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, but he lost the role to Matthew Lillard.
He wrote the song "Handprints on the Wall" which was recorded by Kenny Rogers. In-between his voice acting duties, Innes was the afternoon air personality at Country outlet WYNK-FM/Baton Rouge, Louisiana from 1997-2011.
