17 Voice Actors Of The 2000's And A Circle Of Connections

A look at how there is a TON of overlap with voice actors for animated television series. NOT an exhaustive list by any means, but just a few on this list based on some television shows, connected in ways you may not have thought of. ***Some of these may be out of the 2000s or may be films, but that's just a small technicality.***

Cree Summer

Susie Carmichael (Rugrats and Rugrats All Grown Up); Numbuh 5 (Codename: Kids Next Door); Max (Batman Beyond); Miranda Killgallen (As Told By Ginger); Tiff Krust(My Life as a Teenage Robot); Valerie Gray (Danny Phantom); Mo from (Horrible Histories).

So check out Rugrats and land to...

Nancy Cartwright

Chuckie (Rugrats); Todd (Disney's The Replacements); Rufus (Kim Possible); Bart Simpson (The Simpsons).

I remember vaguely The Replacements, so let's try it and find...

Daran Norris

Cosmo and Timmy’s Dad (Fairly Odd Parents); Dick Daring (Disney’s The Replacements); Count Spankulot (Codename: Kids Next Door).

Daran Norris is also known as Gordy from Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, but keeping with animated series, I wanted to hop to Kids Next Door and check out another smaller-role actor, and thought of KND Agent Numbuh 9, aka Maurice, voiced by....

Khary Payton

Cyborg (Teen Titans); Aqualad (Young Justice); Maurice (Codename: Kids Next Door); Ten (Justice League – “Wild Cards”).

Of course, had to check out Teen Titans since he's Cyborg, and then looked at....

Greg Cipes

Beast Boy (Teen Titans); Kevin Lin from (Ben 10); Jack (Justice League – “Wild Cards”); Tu, Mako and Bolin’s cousin (Legend of Korra).

Hopped over to Ben 10 for fun, and recognized this guy...

Scott Menville

Robin (Teen Titans); King (Justice League – “Wild Cards”); Jimmy (Ben 10); Actor playing Sokka (Avatar: The Last Airbender – “Ember Island Players”); Ma-Ti (Captain Planet); Fred Flintstone (The Flintstone Kids); Red Herring (A Pup Named Scooby-Doo).

And hey! He did Robin in Teen Titans. And I know some of these are old but that's nostalgia right there! Anyway, since he had a guest voice gig in Avatar, I figured I'd check out other guest voice actors in it, and found...

Ron Perlman

Vice Principal Lancer (Danny Phantom); Firelord Sozin (Avatar: The Last Airbender - "The Avatar and the Firelord"); Orion (Justice League); Slade (Teen Titans).

Also, another Teen Titans connection! But Danny Phantom could use a visit, and then I found this impressive voice actress...

Kath Soucie

Phil and Lil (Rugrats); Maddie Fenton, Danny's Mom (Danny Phantom); Dexter’s Mom (Dexter’s Laboratory); Tish (The Weekenders); Blake Gripling (As Told By Ginger); Agent K (The Replacements); Betty Quinlan (Jimmy Neutron)

Moving to The Weekenders because that was a favorite - if you haven't seen it, try to check out some episodes over the summer!

Jason Marsden

Tino (The Weekenders); Richie (Static Shock); Haku (Spirited Away); Chase young (Xiaolin Showdown); Chester (Fairly Odd Parents – later seasons); Max (A Goofy Movie); Billy Numerous (Teen Titans).

Yes, two of these are films, but wanted to include them anyway. Also, seeing another FOP voice actor, wanted to move to that...

Tara Strong

Bubbles (Powerpuff Girls); Timmy Turner (Fairly Odd Parents); Raven (Teen Titans); Mushi (Codename: Kids Next Door); Queen (Justice League – “Wild Cards”); Dil Pickles (Rugrats); Terrence, Mac’s Brother (Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends); Ben (Ben 10); Omi (Xiaolin Showdown)

Teen Titans again!... But because of Bubbles, look into Powerpuff Girls....

EG Daily

Buttercup (Powerpuff Girls); Tommy Pickles (Rugrats ); Rudy (Chalkzone)

You may recognize EG Daily from her appearance on The Voice when she chose to be on Blake Shelton's team. Or, you may remember her from Friends as Phoebe's friend who turned "Smelly Cat" into a commercial jingle. Anyway, from Chalkzone to...

Hynden Walch

Starfire (Teen Titans); Penny Sanchez (Chalkzone); Princess Bugglegum(Adventure Time); Ace (Justice League – “Wild Cards”); Maureen Connor/Permafrost (Static Shock).

More overlap! Though she had just a small role in Static Shock, it was a memorable episode in the series, so it's worth checking out...

Phil Lamarr

John Stewart/Green Lantern (Justice League); Jack (Samurai Jack); Virgil/Static (Static Shock); Wilt (Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends); Bolbi (Jimmy Neutron); Carver (The Weekenders); Osmosis Jones (Ozzy & Drix).

Ahh, so this is the man who did Osmosis Jones in the T.V. series. Who did Drix?...

Jeff Bennett

Drix (Ozzy & Drix); Clay Bailey (Xiaolin Showdown); Johnny Bravo (Johnny Bravo); Mr. Boss (Codename: Kids Next Door); Ace, Billy, Grubber (Powerpuff Girls); Conrad Fleem (The Replacements); Jake’s Dad (American Dragon: Jake Long); Announcer (Legend of Korra); Dexter’s Dad (Dexter’s Laboratory).

Did you expect all these to be by the same guy? Also, totally forgot about (American Dragon: Jake Long) for a little bit, so wanted to check out the guy behind the voice!

Dante Basco

Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender); Iroh (Legend of Korra); Jake Long (American Dragon: Jake Long).

Also known as Rufio from Hook (1991). After looking at these crazy number of voice actors, wanted to hit up one of the greatest voice actresses and showcase some of her impressive work...

Grey Delisle

Sam (Danny Phantom); Emily Elizabeth Howard (Clifford the Big Red Dog); Brandon (As Told By Ginger); Lor (The Weekenders); Daphne Blake (What’s New, Scooby-Doo?); Femme Fatale (Powerpuff Girls - "Equal Fights"); Mandy (Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy); Kimiko Tohomiko (Xiaolin Showdown); Lizzie (Codename: Kids Next Door); Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender); Tootie and Vicky (Fairly Odd Parents); Frankie (Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends).

...gotta say this is one impressive list. For good measure, though, wanted to end with one of the greatest voice actors I could think of, and it just so happens that Xiaolin Showdown was a connection. Off to...

Tom Kenny

SpongeBob Squarepants (SpongeBob Squarepants); Ice King (Adventure Time); Carl Chryniszzswics (Johnny Bravo); Narrator and Mayor (Powerpuff Girls); Dog (CatDog); Raimundo Pedrosa (Xiaolin Showdown); Knightbrace (Codename: Kids Next Door); The Penguin (The Batman); Jake Spidermonkey (My Gym Partner's a Monkey); Eduardo (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends); Iron Man (The Super Hero Squad Show); Mumbo (Teen Titans); Cupid (Fairly Odd Parents).

He's done a lot more. These are just a few of the things. And look - another Codename: Kids Next Door connection, linking us right back to Cree Summer!
