Patrick Warburton is known for being a great actor but he is even more popular for his voice acting roles. At this point in time, he has over 76 roles under his belt and a net worth of over $20 million! It’s not shocking at all that he is successful because he has such an expressive voice that works perfectly well with animated TV shows and movies.
Some of the shows and movies he lends his voice to are truly just meant for adults while others are totally kid-friendly. According to his Instagram, one of the voice acting roles he did for Disney is actually his favorite of all time! Here are some of his most memorable ones.
10 Kronk ('The Emperor's New Groove')
The Emperor's New Groove is a Disney movie that premiered in 2000. It focuses on a very arrogant, selfish, and immature emperor named Kuzco who ends up getting morphed into a llama by his evil enemy Yzma. On his journey to try and return back to his normal human form, he connects with a really nice peasant man named Pacha. Patrick Warburton is the voice actor behind the character of Kronk.
9 Steve Barkin ('Kim Possible')
One of the most interesting and fun just watching Disney Channel was definitely Kim Possible during its era. It started in 2002 and ran for four seasons. The funny animated series focuses on a teenage girl who lives a double life as a spy. By day, she is part of the cheerleading squad at her high school, but by night she is dipping off into the city to fight against evil villains on strategic missions. The principal of her high school is not the nicest guy ever. His name is Steve Barkin and he is voiced by Patrick Warburton.
8 Rip Riley ('Archer')
When it comes to adult humor cartoons, Archer is at the top of many people's lists. It has been compared to other adult humor cartoons like The Simpsons and BoJack Horseman in the past. It is obviously quite successful since it’s run for 11 seasons so far starting in 2009. The character of Rip Riley is voiced by Patrick Warburton. Rip Riley is a freelance agent who isn’t necessarily connected to any agencies as he goes about life doing his own thing
7 Joe Swanson ('Family Guy')
There is a reason Family Guy is so successful. The adult humor cartoon is really raunchy and inappropriate and after 19 seasons, it has a dedicated fan base consistently tuning in. The show focuses on a man and his family who don’t get along too well but still somehow keep it together despite the negative energy that they hilariously spew out towards each other. Patrick Warburton voices the character of Joe Swanson, the paraplegic next-door neighbor.
6 Brock Samson ('The Venture Bros')
The Venture Bros is an animated TV series that premiered in 2003 on Cartoon Network. The show ran for seven seasons and focused on twin boys who are constantly going on wild adventures together. The fact that they were always going on adventures intertwines with the name of the show. The character of Brock Samson was voiced by Patrick Warburton.
5 Buzz Lightyear ('Toy Story')
The Toy Story movie franchise is undeniably good. The very first movie premiered in 1995 and had to be followed up with the sequel in 1999. Fans didn’t get to see the third movie until 2010 and then had to wait almost a decade to finally see the fourth movie in 2019.
Fans are hoping that toy story five will be released but that has not been set in stone quite yet. Thanks to the success of the movie franchise though, a TV show was created around the heroic character of Buzz Lightyear. Patrick Warburton was chosen to voice Buzz in 'Buzz Lightyear of Star Command'.
4 Sheriff Bronson Stone ('Scooby-Doo!')
Watching teenagers try to solve crimes and take down bad guys is a lot of fun when there is a precocious and silly dog involved. Scooby-Doo! is such a popular animated series to follow and even got its own live-action movie in 2002. The character of Sheriff Bronson Stone was featured in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, voice by none other than Patrick Warburton. Sheriff Bronson Stone wasn’t able to solve crimes the way the teenagers were able to.
3 Grandpa Shark ('Baby Shark')
Baby Shark is one of the most popular animated shows for kids of this generation. The music is catchy and kids absolutely love singing along! In the show, Baby Shark has grandparents.
Patrick Warburton is the voice actor who voices Grandpa Shark for the English version. The show, which was created in South Korea, premiered on Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. at the end of 2020.
2 Ken ('Bee Movie')
The most obnoxious character from Bee Movie would definitely have to be Ken, Vanessa Bloome's temporary boyfriend. He was so high and mighty and thought he was better than everyone else. His personality was so unlikable! Patrick Warburton voiced him and was able to pull off that conceited, cocky, full of himself persona perfectly. Bee Movie premiered in 2007 and is considered a comedy movie for families.
1 Royal Pain ('Sky High')
Although Sky High is not an animated movie, the character of Royal Pain (the evil villain and main antagonist) never actually showed his/her face and came across as somewhat of an animated figure in a way. Patrick Warburton is the man who gave a voice to the villain who never actually revealed his/her face until the end. Royal Pain ended up being Gwen Grayson, the pretty girl who everyone thought had a nice personality the whole time.
