Actors, alongsider their ability to completely transform into the character they portray, have an ability to leave a personal signature on any character that they touch. No matter the extent that they go to in order to achieve a degree of separation between their real selves and their on-screen persona, they inevitably leave pieces of themselves behind. Often, actors are identified with the characters that they’ve become recognizable as. The voice cast of Bob’s Burgers is no exception to being known for their work on the hit series, and then being recognized as by their voices elsewhere.
Bob’s Burgers is a successful entry into the adult animation genre that quickly refreshed the approach of middle-class American tropes in television. The show, which has announced its first-ever full-length feature film, follows the Belcher family as they are faced with the head-on challenges of raising children while surviving in the restaurant industry. Bob’s Burgers found its eclectic charm through a cast of unique and memorable characters that contributed to the show’s personality. Here’s where else you may have seen—or heard—the voice cast of Bob’s Burgers.
