Top 10 Voice Actors in Film and TV

[@MsLm97]

the fact that Mark Hamill is nothing but an honorable mention on this list is just fucking insulting

[@JS-ue2si]

+MsLm97 False. He's done little more than the Joker. And he wasn't the one who won an emmy for the character.

[@MsLm97]

John Sherk if you think he's done "little more than the Joker" you need to read up on his filmography and if you wanna talk award shows, which imo are subjective af and don't mean much anymore, he won a BAFTA for the Joker

[@MsLm97]

Th. Noatak exactly, I basically grew up listening to his voice constantly without even knowing it at the time

[@MsLm97]

Th. Noatak hahahahaha he does have an incredible voice and even more incredible talent

[@pieterlootsma8706]

+John Sherk Mark Hamill has done much more than The Joker. Some of his roles include Skips from Regular Show and Firelord Ozai from Avatar the Last Airbender.

[@CreatorKPT]

Mel Blanc should have been number 1, especially if he's called The Man of 1000 voices.

[@FanSeitz]

Frank Welker is credited for more voices though.

[@thetrashghost21]

Rampagethecrab98 But Mel Blanc was Private SNAFU, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, Sylvester, Tweety, and hundreds of more characters I haven't named. Frank Welker has absolutely nothing on Mel Blanc. It's disgusting how Mel was pushed to second place behind a nobody.

[@FanSeitz]

Dude are you fucking serious, look up Frank Welker on Imdb.

[@thetrashghost21]

No, are you fucking serious? If it weren't for Mel Blanc, Frank Welker wouldn't exist as a voice actor. In fact, NONE of the voice actors(resses) we have now would have their careers if it weren't for Mel Blanc. So thank your little Welker on Mel Blanc's genius and influence.

[@FanSeitz]

Hey I fucking love Mel Blanc to, but it's my opinion for thinking Frank Welker is barely better, just like compare both their imdb pages or something and Welker was a voice actor while Mel Blanc was still alive!

[@CHEESEPUFF_7]

Why is Mark Hamill only in honorable mentions?

Because he's only done a few voices. He's good, but he's only memorable because I AM HIS FATHER... kaff kaff.

[@ede7722]

Couldn't agree more, the man had no limits was literally the father of cartoon voices. If you don't agree, watch a documentary on the man, he was absolutely incredible.

[@DrVenture45]

You could be right, but anyone familiar with Mel Blanc's career knows that even as a ploy to gain comments, it's still insulting. He deserves more respect, living or passed.

[@umajunkcollector]

half this list sux

[@zedxxx9]

I think Mel Blanc should absolutely be in the Number 1 position. And Seth McFarlane should have been included in the top 10 or at the very least earned a spot in the honourable mention section.

Seth is a TERRIBLE excuse of a voice actor! And no, Frank Welker definitely deserves number one! He's Megatron for Gods sake!

[@kristofgriffin384]

[@DarkPablo]

Mel Blanc is rightfully 1!

[@ma55aracin9]

Junior Hermosillo That's right brother.....Mr. Blanc is the the top boss of voice acting by excellence and his very own right.....and as such, he should have been granted the top honors in this list....... Oh well.......

[@fgfgdhhd]

yeah Mel Blanc the man of 1000 voices had to be number one .....

[@tpsu129]

I do believe this is the FIRST Top 10 list that I disliked. How can refer to someone as "the man, the myth, the legend" and put him anywhere but #1?

[@janis317]

Mark Hamill's Joker deserves to be in the top 5.

[@barbarapearson1456]

tpsu129 Exactly!

[@meanpup1758]

How did Fred (from Scooby Doo), Megatron, and Dr. Claude beat the one and only Mel Blanc?

[@Rawk4Life]

Probably because the majority of Mel Blanc's character voiceovers were all within the same universe of Looney Tunes. Frank Welker has done voiceover work for well over 40 different cartoon programs and movies in his career.

[@KingOfBlades27]

What other characters can you name from Mark? Exactly. And that is why he is not on this list even though his Joker is marvelous.

[@loulie1997]

Yeah... Mel should have been number one. He basically invented voice acting. Also it's TIMMMY not Jimmy... with a T! Have you ever seen the Fairly Odd Parents?

[@hannahkatheryn95]

I thought he said Jimmy!

[@flowerbunny91]

They must have mixed Timmy turner with Jimmy Neutron.

[@BadKittySpot]

I agree, Mel should have been number one!

[@enyafanjt]

I usually don't give negatives and rarely write comments but not having Mel Blanc as number one just means you want arguments to occur. This was one of the easiest number one votes in the history of Watchmojo and I think you purposefully didn't put Mel Blanc in the number one spot to get on peoples nerves.

[@bobvelez4598]

Agreed. He also had a very long career in radio that seems to be forgotten for some reason, going back to the 30s. He regularly appeared on MANY of the top shows of the day. For example, he was one of the reasons the great Jack Benny radio show was a top show for so many decades. He was used as the sound of bears, birds, horses, car engines and numerous people with French, Russian, Italian etc. accents and every other sound you can think of. He appeared right up to Jack’s last radio show in May of 1955. Then he followed him to TV as a live actor reprising many of these same roles.

[@mooki3babiiyonkerz]

I have to agree. Just seeing the title I KNEW Blanc would be number one. He's number one on everyone's list even other voice actors. They just want conflict.

[@itsaUSBline]

I'm sure it's just that most young people aren't so aware of him these days.

[@araROSEbaby]

I completely agree. Mel Blanc should have the top spot and I seriously thought that he was going to get it. I almost cried seeing that he wasn't. He's just too good and he's a classic too.

[@EiferBrennan]

That's the only thing I would have changed, Mel Blanc should have been Number 1.

[@matthatton3763]

Amen. Mel and June are voice actor royalty. Not diminishing Frank at all but I think even he'd shake his head at this list.

[@juliaz12345]

Fuck yeah. I totally forgot about her. She was Granny in the WB universe and did loads of other voices, including loads of Rocky and Bullwinkle roles. She was basically THE female voice in cartoons for decades.

[@alanagorman6985]

And quagmire and he was in Larry and Steve

[@UrSammich]

I agree and disagree with Seth being on the list. I mean yeah he's got a nice range and does some amazing voices, but in comparison to some of the actors mentioned, he really is ONLY the voice of his own show and some cameos on other shows like Robot Chicken. I haven't really seen any other voice work he's provided else where for. The only thing I know about is that he worked with Disney at some point in time with animation. I can't re-call if it was Pixar or just general Disney, but otherwise I think some other actors deserve the spot more then he does. :/

[@SamuelFister]

I dunno.... I definitely would have put Mel Blank at #1. The guy basically re-defined what it MEANT to be a voice actor. Easily the number one influence for everyone else on this list. I will say, thought I absolutely LOVE Mark Hamill, other than the Joker and that plant thing from Danny Phantom, I can't honestly remember what else he's done in the ways of voice acting. Don't get me wrong, he's the definitive Joker for sure, but this list is clearly looking at overall versatility. Hamill (Skywalker) is a major player in the acting world, but really hasn't played many roles in voice acting (to my knowledge anyway)

[@QuesoGr7]

Exactly

[@PelicanShakes]

Take a gander at Mark Hamill's filmography and you will see he's done quite a few voice roles spanning from Avatar The last Airbender to Codename: Kids next door to even other characters in some of the later Batman cartoons. I'd mention more but frankly I'm lazy and don't feel like typing. Take one look though at his filmography on wikipedia and once you hit the 90's it's almost entirely voice roles. Agree with you completely on Mel Blanc though. Man was the best.

Tom Kenny is good but his range is not as wide as the voice actors on this list. Kenny basically has two voices (The Narrator on PowerPuff Girls, and Spongebob) with all his other characters being variants of those two voices. Whenever I hear a Tom Kenny character, I know its him. He's awesome, but his range aint 'all that' in my opinion

[@whatever5059]

There should be a separate list for the legends like Mel Blanc, June Foray, Paul Frees, et.al., then another one for the current VAs like Tara Strong and Dan Castallaneta. Also, there are too many talented and iconic voice actors out there that it would be impossible to condense them into a top 10 list, not to mention that this is just a list of North American VAs; there are also a lot of talented VAs all around the world.

[@terokoskinen3036]

Mel Blanc #1. "WatchMojo" so you know it is going to be flawed first because of stupidity & 2nd to try to get more comment$ (which i am clearly falling for again). No Harry Shearer at all? Also, billy west may have a slight attitude, but when voice acting he does have more control / range / etc than almost everyone on this list. And taking the helm of Mel Blanc's characters is almost suicide (even if you do them perfectly, you are going to be disliked for the slightest nuance) (like a new band member) (but he did it~ and did great). Dan & Hank should be higher on the list as well. I may include Frank Oz as well - possibly some jim henson group people. Billy Crystal and Robin Williams if the list were a tiny bit bigger. Check out the movie 'Animalympics' for more harry shearer and billy crystal. Luckily they did not include plagiarist $eth mcfarland.

[@nadeemhosein9278]

I agree. This is disgraceful. Give credit where credit is due. Mel Blanc did indeed pave the way for others in the industry as you mention and he was also the first to receive on screen credit. As for Frank Welker, he is rather good. I find it unfortunate that he wasn't able to reprise his voice for Michael Bay's Transformers. As for Jim Cummings, he is good but his voice is shared between his characters. Have him speak among others and you could pick his voice out quick.

[@thetrashghost21]

Exactly. Mel was the god who inspired all future voice actors even Frank, I bet. Frank is but a child compared to Mel in terms of voice acting. Once I hear Frank: whistle by means of inhaling through his nose, do voices in ALL 8 VOICE RANGES, perfectly recreate all the worlds accents, and the sound of an old car, THEN, he could be considered, but until then, Mel will always kick Frank's ass even in death.

[@MylesMarrero]

I've never even heard of Frank Welker, and Seth MacFarlane doesn't even get an honorable mention? Dis sum bullshit.

[@EmmaCRB1989]

I actually thought Billy West would be higher on the list. Charlie Adler and Tom Kenny are missing.

[@sammisabbie]

+EmmaCRB1989 ooh yeah forgot tom kenny

[@XxPx3xNx6xUx1xNxX]

Mel Blanc # 1 hands down.

[@JRo250]

Tom Kenny and Seth MacFarlane need to be on this list. And Mel Blanc is #1!

[@clitorismold1760]

[@didierlabossiere4726]

Frank Welker truly is amazing, and I would rate him #2, but Mel Blanc on ANY list ranks #1!!!!

[@raukouy]

Mel #1

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

June Foray (Rocky the Flying Squirrel, among many others) Arthur Q. Bryan (the original Elmer Fudd!) Mae Questel (Betty Boop, Olive Oyl) Grace Stafford (Woody Woodpecker) Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson) Clarence Nash (Donald Duck) Pinto Colvig (Goofy) Walt Disney (who also voiced Mickey Mouse)

[@artmoss6889]

I'm glad somebody mentioned Arthur Q. Bryan, one of my favorite actors from the golden age of radio.

[@lreking8929]

Robert Conrad. Huge radio career (and if that isn't voice acting, what is?) as well as his animation work.

[@cuddyfox6973]

Don Messick (Scooby-Doo, Bam Bam Rubble, Astro, Boo-Boo Bear, Rachet from Transformers, Papa Smurf, Hampton Pig and Dr, Benton Quest )

[@danicacior4815]

Why isnt Seth Mcfarlane heare? He is not even in the honorable mention for real?

[@adamdavis4417]

Dani Cacior I think Seth Mcfarland and Mike Judge should have at least gotten honorable mentions. They sure gave Simpson’s and Futurama a lot of love.

[@corys4v0]

i know

[@pieternaude1469]

They also left out Tom Kenny...

[@jesbsnrn]

true

[@66karateman]

They left out Nancy Cartwright

[@Bohimen]

Seth MacFarlane. Come on guys.

[@犬の大将]

Mel Blanc should have been first. For Christ sakes, he had the nickname “The Man of a Thousand Voices”

[@D00MTR33]

Cmon, seth macfarlane at least deserves an honorable mention for family guy, americanmdad, cleveland show and ted. And hank azaria shouldmbe at least in the top 5.

[@LLawlietKris8]

WHERE IS TOM KENNY!!!!!!!!!

[@kurttoy5035]

Let's not forget Jackson Beck, Arnold Stang, Mae Questel, Allen Swift, Jack Mercer, and Bob McFadden as well.

[@cheezncrackerz2729]

honestly I would’ve put mark hamill in the actual list instead of honorable mention

[@liambiniares3182]

What about Tom Kenny?

[@iamspongebobdestroyerofevi5055]

I was thinking the same

[@AvatarZaang]

No Tom Kenny?! Grey Delisle is only an honorable mention?! No Dee Bradley Baker?!

[@joelaugustestudios]

I was also hoping Tom Kenny would be on this list. I thought he would be number 1. He's the voice of everyone's favorite character, SpongeBob SquarePants.

[@joelaugustestudios]

Tom Kenny, Grey Delisle, and Dee Bradley Baker all did voices for different characters on Kids Next Door.

[@flowerbunny91]

[@ianfindly3257]

I thought Casey Kasem might be included, but then again we do know HIS face.

[@KFilippi2525]

You are soo right!! He did a great Shaggy on Scooby Doo and Robin on the Superfriends!! This list sucks!!

[@ianfindly3257]

@@KFilippi2525 I also remember him from Battle Of the Planets "G - Force!". My guess is that they didn't include him cause he's most famous as that America's Top 40 guy.

[@sprtsfanatic1]

The list is adequate.....I would have placed Mel Blank as #1, solely for the fact that he defined childhoods for generations, and did multiple public comedy routines, as well. That aside, I am surprised that Seth McFarlane didn't get an honorable mention. I understand that many people are over Family Guy, but his voices alone in that show and American Dad are awesome! I'm not a fan of The Cleveland Show, but I respect his voice acting capabilities. Moreover, way to screw-up "JIMMY Turner," and not credit Tera for her other notable roles: Raven from Teen Titans, Tommy from Rugrats, and Princess Clara and Toot from Drawn Together. But really though, for a social media channel on youtube, the least you guys could do, WatchMojo.com, is get your heads out of your asses for 10 seconds and do some decent research, for FUCK'S SAKE! A 10 year-old with internet access and knowledge of wikipedia could do a better job than you folks! I'm not even going to mention some of the other top voice actors that commentors have already mentioned

[@Hexinvir]

Good list, but Mel Blanc FOR SURE should be number 1.

[@warkahproductions]

Why didn't he include: Seth MacFarlane

[@UndeadCoyote32]

The voice actor of some of the absolute worst cartoon characters of all time??? Gee I wonder why?!

[@NEONHYPERTURTLE]

Rampagethecrab98 u know his shows are more popular then some of the shows on this list

[@nicoufeizi1261]

Because many people can replicate his characters perfectly.

[@magua9563]

Wow, Clancy Brown didn't even get a mention?

[@dannythomas417]

He does a lot of live action roles too, just like Mark Hamill.

[@Lucky_9705]

Tom Kenny, Sean Schemmel, and Nancy Cartwright all should've gotten at least a mention

[@roberteugene7295]

@Ghibli Fan Worse yet, the content creator forgot June Foray and Daws Butler, even as honorable mention. These are legends, and they were left off the list entirely.

[@sandrasanders706]

I know...THE #1 GREATEST VOICE ACTOR OF ALL TIME..Welker should be #2, if it wasn't for Blanc, Foray, etc..voice actors on that list would not have a career..

[@didierlabossiere4726]

And Don Messick

[@CROSSTATT]

Frank Welker is extremely amazing!

[@CROSSTATT]

Whereas I agree with you that Blanc is outstanding, he lacks the credits. I mean, Welker makes money while he sleeps!

[@spacecowboy5000]

"Mel Blanc - the man, the myth, the legend". Which is clearly why he should take the #1 position. He set the high bar for all the voice actors that followed him.

[@domenicolio5196]

[@bethholloway1108]

The hat I got for christmas is too beer

[@MrRolyat98]

Agreed. But if anyone could have beat him out of the top spot, it would definitely be Frank Welker.

[@boataxe4605]

So first you say Blanc was the one to become an icon then you place him number two? Frank welker would say he's #1!

[@Kalikid89]

Agree Mel and Welker should be flipped

MEL BLANC is number 1 hands down !!!!!

[@walmaker8372]

Where is Tony Jay? He was the voice of many cartoon villains. He's probably voiced more characters than Mel Blanc.

Frank Welker is a legend, top 3 for sure, but he can’t be above Mel

[@melodyconte]

WatchMojo didn't say it outright, but based on Simpsons and Futurama commentaries, Frank Welker is THE guy for animal noises. IMO Mel is the legend for voices, but if you've heard an animal in animation it's likely Welker, so I think it's okay he got #1.

[@bluegrassboy75]

Sorry to disagree, but Mel Blanc should have been #1. Not only did he do voices for Looney Tunes, but he did a lot for Hanna-Barbara as well.

[@robertfurman6988]

+bluegrassboy75 Daws Butler , did most all the Hanna Barbera voices, and He should be no.2.
