Step into the Wabac Machines, Sherman, and set the dial for just two weeks ago…Sunday, July 27, 2025. It's the final day of the 54th Comic-Con in Summer in San Diego, California and I'm hosting my 64th Cartoon Voices panel. Let's see who was on it…
That's Abby Trott — lovely lady, great talent. You heard her in Demon Slayer, Barbie Mysteries, X-Men '97. a whole lotta video games and many more…
That's Vincent Martella. He's Phineas Flynn in Phineas and Ferb and he was Jason Todd in Batman: Under the Red Hood and Death in the Family, and like everyone else on this panel, he has way more credits than I am capable of listing here.
Meet Gabe Kunda, a busy voice actor from Dallas and he can also be heard singing bass for the Grammy-nominated a cappella group Kings Return…and if you read this blog, you know how much I love a cappella singing groups.
I wrote about Kaitlyn Robrock a few posts ago here. She's one of those people who worked hard to break into the field and once she did, everyone wanted to cast her in whatever they were doing. On the panel when the actors read a hoary fairy tale script, I cast her as the Evil Witch and Michael Scott Action (below) as the Handsome Prince and somehow — don't ask me how — he wound up beatboxing with his mouth and Kait was suddenly rapping to it in perfect rhyme and rhythm. It was not planned but it was hilarious.
And that's David Errigo Jr., who showed up for the panel thinking he was just going to sit in the audience and watch his friends…but he's now Ferb on Phineas and Ferb among his many roles and I got to thinking, "We have Phineas up here…we might as well have Ferb, especially since I had this extra nameplate made up with David's name so…"
Maurice LaMarche has been on ten of my Cartoon Voice panels and I'd have him on every one if I could. He certainly has enough different voices. I first saw this guy as a stand-up comic/impressionist on TV and was real impressed at his ability to "do" people no one else did or two put his own spin on the celebs that others did. I am thoroughly unsurprised he became a top cartoon voice person.
And this gent calls himself Michael Scott Action. He used to be Michael Scott but there were a lot of other Michael Scotts around, some even in the actors' union. An actor named Joe Lane had to rename himself Nathan Lane for the same reason. Michael slapped an "Action" onto his name so his name would be as unique as his talents. This was his first Cartoon Voices panel but far from his last.
I think I have one more page of convention pics to post. I'll try to have it up here tomorrow.
