What The American Dad Voice Actors Look Like In Real Life

Main Character: Klaus

And now we delve into the show's leading characters who have been with the series from day one and therefore have some very committed actors to complete the character.

Dee Bradley Baker is the definition of a professional voice actor, starring in a plethora of popular television shows and movies, with an incredible vocal range that can adapt to so many different characters. Some of his work includes Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, Spongebob Squarepants and Avatar: The Last Airbender. What's more is that Baker also vocalises animal characters. For example, those oinks you hear from Waddles the pig in Gravity Falls? They're produced by none other than Dee Bradley Baker.

Within American Dad, Baker DOES play an animal character, but one with a human mind and voice. Klaus is a very bizarre role in the Smith family lore - he was once an East German Olympic ski-jumper until his brainwaves were switched with a goldfish. And since then, the CIA forced Stan to have him as a pet. Although Klaus has a psychotic side, there's not much he can do with it because of his fish body.

Furthermore, Klaus was originally written as French. But Baker couldn't do a French accent and suggested a German accent instead, a change which the casting producers loved.
