Hello Billy West? It's us again.
Billy West is the fucking man. Watching the latest episode of futurama and he nails all his characters still, even being away from them for so long. Many of the other main cast use, essentially, their regular voices.
So you consider the rest of the cast to be Katey Sagal?
I agree that Billy West is certainly the man, and deserves tons of praise, but your last sentence is a reductive and incorrect insult. Maurice LaMarche is right behind Billy West in amazingness (think Kif vs Morbo to understand his range). Frank Welker is a fucking voice acting legend. John DiMaggio and Tress MacNeille are both amazing voice actors. David Herman is a great utility voice actor. Phil LaMarr and Lauren Tom are great and sound nothing like their characters, unless you think all people in their respective racial groups sound alike.
Blasphemy.
I would say the main voice cast consists of Billy, Katey, and John. It’s been so long since I’ve heard John speak with his regular voice, I had to go find some YouTube videos to see that yes - I was absolutely incorrect in that regard.
Maurice and Phill are some of the all time greats and I would put them up close to Billy and Dan Castellaneta. Tress is the female equivalent of Billy, imo.
No shade was intended to the rest of the supporting cast. I feel it’s a little messed up to low key call someone a racist based on their feelings for the cast performances on a cartoon, but you do you.
