My friend does a REALLY great impression of Zoidberg. Really. You should see it sometime.

Most of the voice Acters for Futurama are so good, that most of them can do a impression of Zoidberg.

**Crazyswordsman** · 07-16-2006, 01:11 AM

Yeah. Futurama has probably the best voice cast of all cartoons. You probably haven't heard of their names, but you certainly heard many of them elsewhere.

Billy West (Fry, Farnsworth, Zoidberg, Nixon, Zapp, and others): Billy is my favorite voice actor of all time. His ability to jump from one voice to the next and his variety of voices is so diverse that you can hardly hear him when he does voices. He also did Ren, Stimpy, Doug, the Red M&M, the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee, and one time voiced several Looney Tunes characters. He's also working on a movie called Billy Bastard.

John DiMaggio (Bender, Elzar, Flexo, URL, and others): This guy is also one of my five favorite VAs. Mainly because he's Italian, but also because he keeps that charm with him in whatever he voices. Unfortunately, I haven't heard much else of him, as most of his stuff involves Anime (although I do like him as Wakka in Final Fantasy X, probably the best of the FFX cast), but I do know he's in Princess Moanoke. He does have a funny video he submitted to Sundance entitled "How to lose 20 Pounds in 2 Weeks." You can see it on YouTube if you like.

Katey Segal (Leela): She hasn't had many other opportunities to voice characters, but she does an AMAZING Leela.

Phil LaMarr (Hermes): He's in quite a bit of stuff that I don't know, however, he does probably the best Jamaican accent I've ever heard.

Lauren Tom (Amy, Inez and others): One of my favorite female VAs, she's also in King of the Hill. She does an amazing job as Amy.

Maruice LaMauche (Kif, Lrr, Morbo, Calculon and others): This guy is another Billy West. He is one of the most talanted people there is on the job, and he hasn't had too many starring roles. He has played Egon Spangler in The Real Ghostbusters but that's about it. He's amazing in Futurama, and you can tell by looking at his resume.

Tress MacNille (Mom, Cat Lady and others): My favorite female VA hands down. She's also Agnes Skinner on the Simpsons and Babs Bunny.

And Frank Welker (Nibbler): He does some amazing work as well. He was in Garfield & Friends as some of the farm animals.

This is the top tier for voice talent. Matt Groenig picks his cast wisely. -CSM

Bill West, is my second fave voice acter, right behind Dan Castlaneta.

John DiMaggio, to tell you the truth, he doesnt change his voice much at all, he sounds just like bender, or flexo

Katey Segal, I like Her Character but hate her, she does Lifetime flicks.

Phil LaMarr, he doese one of my fave characters.

Lauren Tom, not near as good as Nancy Cartwright.

Maruice LaMauche, Caculon is awesome.

Thats all im going to do.
