9 Famous Screen Actors Who Were More Successful As Voice Artists

As an onscreen actor, Patrick Warburton is known for giving small but memorable performances in various comedy films, as well as providing a few leading roles over the span of his career.

Warburton would prove later in his career that, although he can deliver on the big screen, over the mic is where his talents really shine. Voicing the roles of Joe Swanson in Family Guy and Brock Samson in the Venture Bros, as well as Kronk in the Disney animated feature the Emperor’s New Groove, Warburton has more than established his prominence as a voice actor.

Alongside his television and film voice roles, like every good voice actor, Warburton has also starred in many video games, most notably as Flynn in the Skylanders series. He has also provided voice-over work for well-received video game titles such as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, League of Legends, and Tales From the Borderland.

Nominated for three separate Annie Awards (awards in the field of animation) for voice acting, the majority of Warburton's success and fame can be attributed to the voice roles that he takes on as his deep voice and comedic antics are blended better behind an animated character than with that of an onscreen character.
