History Creator / FrankWelker

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' - Santa's Little Helper (alternating with, and eventually replaced by, Creator/DanCastellaneta), Snowball, various other animals

One interesting little story about Welker is that he was nearly included in some cartoon's credits for voice work, until the guys remembered that no, they'd used an actual horse. He's just that ubiquitous. In terms of voice acting, he's a bit of a MemeticBadass.

As it should be, Welker's reputation is astounding and alongside Creator/MelBlanc, he is likely the most famous voice actor in the world. He is revered as a god by many in the industry. Welker's ability goes beyond creating human voices and he is often cast as animals and used for animal vocals, where he has an uncanny talent at imitation. If the movie or show has any sort of budget and it has a regular animal character, he probably does the voices for it.

* ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'' - Sparky, Mr. Stenchy, Kixx, Tank, other Experiments

** ''Mulan II'' - Little Brother (replaced Chris Sanders)

* ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' - Sherman the Gorilla, the President and his aides

* ''WesternAnimation/IceAge2TheMeltdown'' - Cretaceous and Maelstrom (uncredited)

* ''WesternAnimation/IceAge2TheMeltdown'' - Cretaceous and Maelstrom

Largely because of the demand of his animal voice work, Welker more often plays a side character than the Hero. His most famous high-profile work has been ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' as Freddy (and Scooby since Creator/DonMessick's death), ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' as Megatron and Soundwave, and more recently the voice (both speaking and non-speaking) of Nibbler in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''.

Welker ranks third (only behind Creator/SamuelLJackson and Creator/HarrisonFord) in the "All Time Top 100 Stars at the Box Office," not as a box office draw, but in terms of the total revenue generated by the films in which he has participated, for the sheer number of voices he has done -- over 1,200 -- ranging from his work on ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' to the present day. (In fact, besides TheMovie and the 1988-91 series ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'' where Carl Stevens did the voice, he has been the only voice of Freddy since the beginning.) Go look him up on [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0919798 IMDB]]. Depending on your monitor resolution and DPI settings, his resume is anywhere from 50-60 pages long. It'd be easier to list the works where he ''hasn't'' performed...
