Jess Harnell Fan Page

About me:

This myspace profile is a fan page dedicated to voice actor Jess Harnell, run by Ashley Trayder,




Nominated for an Emmy Award and named by Variety as one of the top ten voice actors, JESS HARNELL is truly one of the best and the busiest in the business. His voice has been heard on countless primetime TV series, and he is the announcer on several top shows such as “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” and has appeared on practically every cartoon on TV from “The Simpsons” to “Fairly Oddparents” to “Rugrats.” In addition, he has starred as Captain Hero on Comedy Central’s hit “Drawn Together” and as Wakko on Steven Spielberg’s “Animaniacs,” winner of multiple Emmy Awards as well as the prestigious Peabody Award. Harnell’s film credits include the recently released “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” “Over the Hedge,” “Cars,” “Robots,” “Finding Nemo,” “The Country Bears,” “Lilo & Stitch,” “Scooby-Doo,” “The Emperor’s New Groove,” “Toy Story 2,” “Toy Story“ and “A Bug’s Life.” He has voiced thousands of promos and national commercials for clients such as Disney, McDonald’s, Diet Coke, Fox, Kellogg’s and a series of spots for Sea World as the voices of both Shamu and Shamu Jr. His voice is also featured in several of the world’s biggest video games. Born on the East Coast and raised in California from the time he was ten, Harnell always knew he’d end up as a performer, though not necessarily as a cartoon. He has an extensive background as a rock singer, winning numerous awards and doing literally thousands of gigs as a studio vocalist and sound-alike, impersonating many famous vocalists flawlessly. As one of the top celebrity voice matches in the business, Harnell is able to mimic over 150 celebrities, both speaking and singing, from Albert Brooks to Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Presley, all four Beatles, Steve Perry, Willie Nelson, Pee Wee Herman and even Rodney Dangerfield. His voice is also onscreen this summer in the animated “Surf’s Up,” along with Shia LaBeouf, Zooey Deschanel, Jon Heder, Jeff Bridges and James Woods, as well as in “Bongee Bear and the Kingdom of Rhythm” with Rob Paulsen, Ruth Buzzi and Dom DeLuise.
