Frank Welker (person)

Frank Welker

Frank Welker is one of the most important stars of the cartoon world - although hardly anyone knows his name.

Mini-bio

Welker started off his career as a stand-up comedian in 1967 - a career where he did some brilliant voice impressions. Later, he started doing voice-overs, and ended up working with voices for cartoons. He is considered one of the most famous voice actors in the world.

He has done special effect voices for X files, Species, Independence Day, and hordes of other movies. He has done sound effects for Peter Gabriel in a music video, and voices in all of the Baldur's Gate computer games.

Productions he has been part of:
