This week on Toon’d In!, Jim Cummings welcomes the endlessly versatile, outrageously talented, and effortlessly cool Jeff Bennett—the unforgettable voice behind Johnny Bravo, Brooklyn from Gargoyles, Dexter’s Dad, the Man With the Yellow Hat, and so many more animated icons!
With a voice that can shapeshift into just about anything, Jeff brings a treasure trove of stories, laughter, and behind-the-scenes magic to the mic. He and Jim dig into the golden age of '90s animation, the joy (and madness) of switching between wildly different characters, and what it takes to stay grounded while playing some of the most eccentric voices in the biz.
