John DiMaggio

[on:]

here's a question that someone (or any number of people) show know: How many voices has John DiMaggio done? I mean, we all know that Tress McNeil, Dave Herman, Maurice LaMarsh (CANUK WOO!) et al have done a billion and one voices, but how many has DiMaggio done? I leave it to you, peelers!

Sincerely Me,
PtPA

Quite a few, although he did less of them around Season 4. Either he purposely wanted to do less incidental voices and stick with Bender or the writers realised that he wasn't quite as versatile as West or LaMarche and wrote less parts for him.

[Reply #2 on:]

Here's some,

Bender
Flexo
Elzar
Joey mousepad (Robot mafia)
Url (Robot Cop)
Randy (Gay guy that pops up in many episodes)
Robot Santa (Only in Tale of 2 Santas, Robot santa was oringinally played by John Goodman)
Sal
Ignar (Mom's youngest son, the one with purple hair)
One of the Globetrotters
The Glunkalunk-a-lunker who sings the lower harmonie. (e.g. "If You try that stuff here u could get ur legs broke." & "It could easily happen again to u folk!" )
Australian slave guy.
Army dude with loads of guns. (He's in "A head in the polls" & "the Birdbot of Ice-Catraz." )
The yokle/texas soldier (not sure how to descride him, he is in "War is the h-word" )
Anyone who beatboxes
& loads of robots.

You're missing Billy West in the list... I mean, how can you not acknowledge Fry, Farnsworth, Zoidberg, AND the Zapper? Anyways, John did Bender, Flexo, Elzar, Santa in ATOTS, and Sal in the big roles. I'm not sure about the other thingamajigs though...

[Reply #4 on:]

John does voices on a lot of other shows, too.. For instance, he and Phil LaMarr worked together on Samurai Jack, in which Phil played Jack and John played the scottish warrior. In uturama, though, Randy is one of his greatest voices. And his Coilette..! Genius.

[Reply #5 on:]

I agree with Evil Lunch, I loved the voice he did for Coilette, it was feminine but he still manage to keep Bender's character while acting, superb!!! And Randy, my god. "It's Randy!!! I love Randy!!!"~John Dimaggio. I laugh at everything he say's. Except one thing, Randy keeps changing his hair colour, sometimes it's brown and sometimes it's blonde.
This made me laugh.
"People said i was crazy for building this ark."
"U Idiot! u filled it with same sex animals!"
"hey, some parts of the bible I like and some parts I don't like."
Oh another classic John Dimaggio voice was, Zapp Brannigan's surprise date in "Put ur head on my shoulder."
"Wait u didn't show me ur surprise!"~Zapp

No.

[Reply #9 on:]

you forgot about the time John went back in time and became his own grandpa thereby replacing the identical dna that is represented in Joe DiMaggio..... oh wait, that seems awfully familiar to something else...

[Reply #10 on:]

John's excellent at villainous/loud/heavy guy voices. Cool guy.

[Reply #11 on:]

I knew he did Bender, and Santa in ATOTS, but I didn't realize he did this many voices.

You want a complete list, huh?   http://www.geocities.com/shadowstarnook/voices.html

Magic Dumbsworth. Magic solves anything...

[Reply #16 on:]

My favorite voices of his are the trannie robot, Randy, and Curly Joe.

[Reply #17 on:]

Is anyone really willing to call Zap the "Zapper"? Ew.

[Reply #18 on:]

What's wrong with the Zapper? I'm thinking of acting like him for a day to see everyone's reactions 

[Reply #19 on:]

EWE please don't
try bender or fry, probably get better reactions
 
velour.....

I have great memories of telling children my uncle was Alan Shearer...and them believing me.

[Reply #21 on:]

Alan Shearer is that the guy from Spinal Tap?

[Reply #22 on:]

That's Harry Shearer. Alan Shearer is a famous English footballer, the previous captain to David Beckham. In England Alan Shearer is much more well known - he currently plays for Newcastle United.

[Reply #23 on:]

Edited because I didn't read the whole thread.

[Reply #24 on:]

I know this isnt a voice, but in a leela of her own, my favorite DiMaggio "quote" is when the black bar thing gets knocked out, Billy does the "i win thing" and then DiMaggio goes off as randy about the hilarity of the line, WOO!

[Reply #25 on:]

John states in a dvd audio commentry that he has no relation to Joe DiMaggio...
dont ask me when he ays that

oh and my favourite dimaggio quote is from farnsworth parabox when bender1 says doomed and that both benderA and bender1 say a harmonic "dooooooommmed..." 

[Reply #26 on:]

His delivery on the recurring "We're/I'm boned" line is consistently inspiring.

I loved Bender's song about being boned in Godfellas:
"Don't ask whom the bone bones for;
The bone bones for thee"

I was just watching Kim Possible on the Disney channel and I was looking through the credits and I spotted.
John Dimaggio....................D r. Draken
Whoa, he sounds nothing like John.

[Reply #30 on:]

I thought of one other character that John does; the pizza box. In the cryonic woman, he's the pizza box that both informs fry of the time and threatens violence.

Just to make a small correction to that list, Fishy Joe's voice is actually Maurice LaMarche.

[Reply #32 on:]

He is also General Grevious and some random padawan in the Star Wars animated series.

[Reply #33 on:]

Did someone already say the "Why you so stupid, stupid?" transvestite robot?  One of my faves, and one the few voices I can imitate.  On an unrelated note: There are a lot of Futurama voice actors which pop up in unexpected places, for example Tress does a voice in Kiki's Delivery Service.  Major double-take on the credits when I saw that.

[Reply #34 on:]

These voice actors should put up websites with bios and info and resumes and head shots and stuff.  it would increase their public profile! they could demand higher salaries!  and be accosted by fanboys.  fanpeople.  d'oh.   

[Reply #35 on:]

Like www.billywest.com  ?

[Reply #36 on:]

Yes, Teral, like www.billywest.com.

[Reply #37 on:]

Draken is.. a ... HILARIOUS VOICE. It does sound a great deal like John, though. Almost like Robot Santa, now that I think about it. And how he plays off of Nicole Sullivan as Shego consistently amuses me.

[Reply #38 on:]

Re: billywest.com.....
strange there's no picture of Fry (and/or any of the others) in his toonography section, and no mention anywhere that he did the voice of ZIM in the invader Zim pilot. Oh well.

[Reply #39 on:]

Teral do you have any more of those up your sleeve?     and also, why isn't Futurama listed in the cartoonography section? or am I just missing something?
