He received a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program and three Annie Awards for his role as both Yakko and Pinky in the ''Animaniacs'' franchise. His other voice roles include: Hadji in '' The New Adventures of Jonny Quest'' (1986–1987) and '' The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest'' (1996–1997); Raphael in ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' (1987–1996); P.J.

Early life

Robert Frederick Paulsen III was born in Detroit, Michigan, on March 11, 1956, the son of Bob and Lee Paulsen. He grew up in Grand Blanc, Michigan, where he graduated from Grand Blanc High School in 1974. He sang in choirs throughout his youth and adolescence and began performing in plays in school, but his childhood idol was ice hockey player Gordie Howe, and he considered the arts to be a secondary career choice due to his primary interest in becoming a National Hockey League (NHL) player. He briefly attended the University of Michigan-Flint, but later dropped out and moved to Los Angeles in 1978 to pursue a career in show business, much to the disapproval of his father, who was a doctor and wanted Paulsen to pursue a more realistic career. He worked his first job as a musician, before pursuing voice acting full time.

Career

Paulsen's first voice acting role came in 1983 with the mini-series '' G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero'', where he played Snow Job and Tripwire. A few years later, his career launched into more roles such as Cobra Slavemaster and reprising Snow Job and Tripwire on '' G.I. Joe'', Corky on '' The Snorks'', Marco Smurf on the later seasons of ''The Smurfs'', Boober in ''Fraggle Rock'', Hadji in '' The New Adventures of Jonny Quest'' and the title character Saber Rider and the villain Jesse Blue on '' Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs''.

During the 1980s, Paulsen also explored the field of live action films. His first film was '' Eyes of Fire'' in 1983. He played supporting roles in ''Body Double'', ''Stewardess School'', ''Warlock'', and ''Mutant on the Bounty''. He appeared in television shows during this time as well, such as ''MacGyver'' and ''St. Elsewhere''.
Paulsen became more prevalent in the world of advertising as well. In the 1980s, he had been the announcer for the sitcom ''Cheers'' and continued to secure roles as an announcer. He appeared as the voice of Mr. Opportunity, spokesman of Honda commercials on TV and radio, the announcer for ''Buffalo Dick's Radio Ranch'', and the spokesman for Lucky Stores, a West Coast grocery store chain, before it was acquired by Albertsons in 1998. He provided the voice of Dog in the Taco Bell kids meal commercials from 1996 to mid-1997, with Eddie Deezen as the voice of Nacho the cat.

However, Paulsen's most famous advertising role was in the original commercial of the now ubiquitous Got Milk? campaign. The famous commercial, ''Who shot Alexander Hamilton in that famous duel?'', aired in 1993, and launched the ''Got Milk?'' campaign into a successful enterprise. Paulsen continues to be one of the most sought-after commercial voice actors in the industry. He can be currently heard as the voice of singing Mr. Mini-Wheat in the Mini-Wheats commercials in Canada.

From 1987 to 1995, Paulsen voiced Raphael and various supporting characters in the original 1987 ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' series. Originally starting as a five-part miniseries, the series continued for ten seasons and 193 episodes. It was a great success and became an instant pop culture symbol. Paulsen has said that Raphael's voice is very similar to his natural voice.

He returned to the franchise as Donatello for the 2012 ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' series on Nickelodeon, which ran for five seasons and 124 episodes from September 29, 2012, until November 12, 2017. He also reprised his role as 1987 Raphael in the multiple 1987/2012 crossover episodes.

Paulsen serves as the voice director for the subsequent series, ''Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'', which premiered in July 2018.

Throughout the early 1990s, Paulsen continued to co-star in animated series, which allowed him to branch further into radio and television announcements and dropped live action acting from his repertoire. In 1993, he voiced "Antoine Depardieu" in ABC's series ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', and "Arthur", an insecure accountant in a moth costume (wings included), in the superhero series '' The Tick'' in 1995, replacing Micky Dolenz, who had originally played Arthur.

In 1993, he starred as the title character in both '' Mighty Max'' and '' The Mask''. Also at this time, he starred in what became one of his most popular roles, Yakko Warner of ''Animaniacs''. Paulsen also provided the voice of Pinky from both ''Animaniacs'' and its spin-off '' Pinky and the Brain'', a show which won him several Annie Awards and a Daytime Emmy in 1999. He also did a number of characters in ''Tiny Toon Adventures'', including " Fowlmouth", " Arnold the Pit Bull", and " Concord Condor". In the direct-to-video film '' Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation'', he did the voices for Banjo Possum, Mr. Hitcher (who would also appear in other episodes), and Johnny Pew.
Paulsen reprised his voice roles as Yakko and Pinky for the ''Animaniacs'' revival, which ran for three seasons on Hulu from 2020 to 2023.

Paulsen has also provided voices for numerous other characters, including Steelbeak in '' Darkwing Duck'', Brick and Boomer in '' The Powerpuff Girls'', Experiment 625 / Reuben and several of Jumba Jookiba's other genetic experiments in '' Lilo & Stitch: The Series'' and its films ''Stitch! The Movie'' and '' Leroy & Stitch'', Atchan in '' Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi'', Spooky the Tuff Little Ghost in '' The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper'', Ogden O.

He was also the voice of Rothchild in the early episodes of '' Samurai Jack''. Additionally, Paulsen provided the voice of P.J. Pete in ''Goof Troop'', '' A Goofy Movie'', and '' An Extremely Goofy Movie'', as well as the voices of Ratchet and Dr. Debolt in the ''TaleSpin'' pilot television film '' Plunder & Lightning''. He also did the voices of Boober Fraggle, Sprocket, and Marjory the Trash Heap in the animated version of ''Fraggle Rock'', as well as Gwizdo in the Dragon Hunters film.

He also voiced Zeek and Joshua in ''K10C: Kids' Ten Commandments'', Rude Dog in '' Rude Dog and the Dweebs'', and Archie the Raccoon, A.K.A. Ze Archer, in "Mask of the Raccoon" on '' The Penguins of Madagascar''. and also provided the voices of 2T Fru-T and Mike Ellis in the 2001 cartoon series '' Butt-Ugly Martians''.

He portrayed the voice of Chomper and Strut in '' The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure'', Spike and Rinkus in ''The Land Before Time'' sequels and Spike in the TV series, but Spike was played anonymously in the original ''The Land Before Time''. Paulsen also played Mo in '' The Land Before Time IX: Journey to Big Water''. Paulsen also voiced the robot "D.E.C.K.S." in the early 1990s TV series ''Wake, Rattle, and Roll''. Paulsen also voiced Prescott A. Wentworth III in the '' Jem'' episode ''The Fan''. Paulsen also played Antoine Depardieu in ''Sonic the Hedgehog''.

Paulsen was best known to ''Transformers'' fans as the voices of the Autobots Air Raid, Chase, Haywire, Fastlane and Slingshot in '' The Transformers''.

Paulsen has voiced characters in video games such as ''Doom 3''. He played Fluffy the Chinese-crested dog in '' 102 Dalmatians: Puppies to the Rescue'', an Irish pub landlord in the 1996 video game '' Toonstruck'', and a floating talking skull named Morte in '' Planescape: Torment'', as well as Anomen Delryn in '' Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn'' and Gray Fox in '' Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes'' and both '' Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and '' Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as an Assist Trophy. He provided the voice for Erik the Swift of '' The Lost Vikings'' in its second installment. He portrayed Tobli and Lian Ronso in the English version of Square Enix's '' Final Fantasy X-2'' and has played the lead character in '' Bubsy''. Although an extremely minor role, Paulsen has also done the voice for the Greek soldiers in ''God of War''. He voiced Jaq and The Grand Duke from the Cinderella world in Square Enix's and Disney's '' Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.

In the video game '' The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge'', he did the voice of Igor.

Paulsen is also the off-camera voice of the syndicated television series ''Funniest Pets & People'', which is seen on Superstation WGN and other television stations throughout the United States and abroad.

It was not long before Paulsen returned to Warner Bros. Animation, which had diverged into a new era of television serials (following what is sometimes referred to as the " Silver Age of Animation"). Paulsen appeared as Rev Runner of the new show '' Loonatics Unleashed'' and starred in '' Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island''. He was also the voice of the character Squeeky on the TV show ''Danger Rangers''. He voiced "Ichabeezer", Bacon Bill, Motato, Beau Rockley, Captain Mike, Tom Celeriac (a play on Tom Selleck), and other countless voices in '' VeggieTales in the House'' for Netflix.

He also voiced Ditto, Rhomboid Vreedle, Baz-El, and Magister Patelliday in the '' Ben 10'' franchise.

Beginning in 2001, Paulsen was the voice of Disney character José Carioca until he stepped down from the role in June 2020, announcing that he would no longer play characters of color. He became the new voice of Prince Eric of Disney's ''The Little Mermaid'' franchise beginning with the film '' The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea'' since Christopher Daniel Barnes failed to reprise the role in 2000, though Barnes did return to voice the character in the '' Kingdom Hearts'' series and in Gameloft's Disney video games. Additionally, he voiced Toodles in ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', Peck in '' Back at the Barnyard'', various characters in '' The Replacements'', and Bobble in the ''Tinker Bell'' films.

He has recently started doing "Rob Paulsen Live" seminars across the U.S. to talk of his career, sign autographs, and talk with fans. Sometimes, people in attendance would request him to sing the famous ''Yakko's World'' number, where he sings all the nations of the world with his Yakko voice in a fast-paced delivery without rehearsing.

In May 2011, working with social media and web producer Chris Pope, Paulsen rolled out a new website RobPaulsenLive.com, as well as a weekly audio podcast called ''Talkin' Toons with Rob Paulsen'', which started out being managed and deployed by The Tech Jives Network, before moving to be part of Nerdist Industries' Nerdist Podcast Network. Some episodes were recorded before a live audience at The Improv in Hollywood, California, while later ones were recorded at the Nerdist Showroom.

In June 2011, Paulsen made announcements that he was taking his show on the road with his "Lots of laughs and autographs" tour. Working closely with a team that included Chris Pope, his publicist, and others he made his first successful tour in Atlanta, Georgia, which happened on July 30, 2011, and another in Dallas, Texas on September 17, 2011, that required two seminars, one in the afternoon and one in the evening, as they were so popular.
