Billy West – Fry
Billy West was born in 1952 in Detroit, Michigan. Best known for his work on Ren & Stimpy, Futurama and Looney Toons, West has a career in radio and television that began in the 1980’s when he did comedic impersonations for Charles Laquidara’s Big Mattress morning show on Boston’s WBCN FM radio network. By the mid-90s, he had moved to doing impersonations of Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott on The Howard Stern Show, giving him greater exposure. From there, West became involved with the Nickelodeon shows Doug and Ren & Stimpy. Portraying the title characters on both shows, Billy West saw his voiceover work reach an even larger, yet younger audience.
This led to Warner Bros. hiring him for the film Space Jam in 1996. Featuring Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan and the cast of Looney Tunes, West voiced Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, two characters whom he sporadically voiced throughout the next decade. He is also known for his portrayal of Philip J. Fry on the cartoon Futurama, which began in 1999 and has continued on through a number of changes through 2012 and currently airs on Comedy Central. In addition he is also the voice of the iconic Red M&M.
John DiMaggio – Bender
John DiMaggio is an American actor, voice actor, comedian, and producer from Plainfield, New Jersey. He is best known for voicing Bender on Futurama, Jake the Dog on Adventure Time, King Zøg on Disenchantment, The Joker from Batman: Under the Red Hood and Jerry Jumbeaux Jr from Zootopia. He can also be seen in Better Call Saul, Mythic Quest, The Newsroom, Modern Family, The League, Historical Roasts on Netflix and The Little Fockers. John had his own comedy show on MTV named after his comedy duo called Red Johnny and the Round Guy, and did stand up at home and abroad in the 1990s, with the likes of Dave Chapelle, Jeff Ross, Dave Attell, Greer Barnes and Dane Cook. He has been married to actress Kate Miller since 2014. He resides in both New York and Los Angeles.
Katey Sagal – Leela
An extremely gifted, versatile performer adept at both comedy and drama, actress/singer Katey Sagal became a household name in the late 1980s as the fabulously brazen, undomesticated Peg Bundy on the enduring Fox series Married…with Children (1987). During its lengthy run she received three Golden Globe and two American Comedy Award nominations. As popular and identifiable as her Peg Bundy persona was, Katey assertively moved on after the show went off the air, not only starring in other sitcoms and television movies, but portraying characters that were polar opposites of the outrageous role that first earned her nationwide attention. For example, in 2008 she took on the role of Gemma Teller Morrow, the matriarch of a Hell’s Angels-esque California biker gang, on the series Sons of Anarchy (2008), and in 2011 her portrayal earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in the Television Series–Drama.
In her post-Bundy career, Katey has continued to demonstrate a strong range, playing a much more responsible parent in the popular sitcom 8 Simple Rules (2002), co-starring the late John Ritter and valiantly moving to single-household-head after Ritter’s sudden passing in 2003 with highly successful results. She is also widely recognized for her work as a voice actor, playing many versions of her character Turanga Leela as well as others on Futurama (1999-2023). She can currently be seen as the character Louise on the ABC series The Conners.
Phil LaMarr – Hermes
A Los Angeles native, Phil LaMarr is an alumnus of Yale University and The Groundlings Theater and is perhaps best known as one of the original cast members of MAD TV, the voice of SAMURAI JACK, “Hermes” on FUTURAMA, “Static” on STATIC SHOCK, “Green Lantern” on JUSTICE LEAGUE and as “Marvin” in PULP FICTION.
For over 30 years, Phil has thrilled audiences with his work on camera and behind the mic on TV shows such as FAMILY GUY, YOUNG JUSTICE, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, STAR TREK:LOWER DECKS, THE FLASH, SUPERGIRL, GET SHORTY, LUCIFER, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM and VEEP; feature films like MADAGASCAR 2, INCREDIBLES 2, and THE LION KING (2019) and video games including JAK & DAXTER, FORTNITE, SHADOW OF MORDOR, and the METAL GEAR SOLID, INJUSTICE and MORTAL KOMBAT series.
His stage work includes productions with The Actor’s Gang, South Coast Repertory, Sacred Fools Theatre, and Phil also portrayed “Cowboy Curtis” in “The Pee-wee Herman Show” both at The Stephen Sondheim Theatre on Broadway and in the Emmy-nominated HBO special. Currently, in addition to writing and producing the animated series “GOBLINS,” (goblinsanimated.com), Phil is performing monthly onstage with “THE BLACK VERSION” (theblackversion.com), performing onscreen in HAMSTER & GRETEL, the CRAIG OF THE CREEK movie, INVINCIBLE, MULLIGAN, AMC’s COOPER‘S BAR, a new season of FUTURAMA on Hulu and performing the role of “Sherlock Holmes” in Audible’s series MORIARTY.
Lauren Tom – Amy Wong

Her voice acting career is equally impressive, with notable roles including Amy Wong and her mother Inez on the animated series “Futurama,” and Minh and Connie Souphanousinphone on “King of the Hill.” Tom’s ability to bring animated characters to life with humor and personality has made her a respected figure in the voice acting community.
