Meet the Voice Actor Behind Hollywood’s Monsters and Creatures

Close your eyes for just a second. Is that a dinosaur we hear? A turkey? A baby baboon? No, it’s all Dee Bradley Baker, a voice actor known for Hollywood’s monsters, creatures and animals. You may have enjoyed his vocal stylings as Perry the Platypus on “Phineas and Ferb,” Klaus the Fish on “American Dad” or Daffy Duck on “Space Jam.” Or maybe you’re a fan of Squidward’s arch-rival Squilliam Fancyson on “Spongebob Squarepants.” We could go on and on. Baker invites us into the recording studio to watch him at work. Wait ‘til you see how he uses his nose.

He didn’t even mention that he’s EVERY CLONE TROOPER from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels and Star Wars: Battlefront 2

[justinreyes]

Voice actors are consistently among the weirdest of all like that

[honiipeach]

Dee Bradley Baker: I voice monsters

Every clone: maybe I am a monster

[dylanortiz]

I love people in the comments saying, “Are we just gonna ignore the fact he played so-and-so in such-and-such?!?!” When he literally voiced everything. It be ridiculous to mention them all. He’s a legend.

Well if it isnt my old nemesis, Perry the platypus

[CodenameZoro]

This man played a large part in my childhood and adolescence and I never even knew about him until now

[Legitgamer]

Most VAs: I took a lot of classes, theater, acting etc.

DBB: Yo, check out these ants.

Voiceover actors have the best of both worlds most of the time. They act on famous shows and they can go grocery shopping without getting mauled by fans.

[blaisebettenhausen]

Don’t forget, he voiced every clone in the clone wars and rebels

[anniedotson]

I can see this guy having alot of fun with prank calls.

[Bigfoot_With_Internet_Access]

I wonder if this guy just talks to himself in various cartoon character's voices when he's alone lol

[masons]

I recognised his voice straight away as some of the spongebob extras

[michigancube]

Keep in mind this dude also voiced the Gravemind in Halo 2 and Halo 3, it almost sounds like he does two voices at the same time when he did the voice lines.

[kaykixx]

Him, Phil Lamar, and John DiMaggio could voice an entire movie by themselves, sound effects and all

[Sleepierhead]

DEE BRADLEY BAKER FINALLY GETTING SOME RECOGNITIONS

[uekiguy]

Where do I apply to become his next-door neighbor?
