History Creator / TomKenny

* LargeHam: The characters he voice are inclined to to be theatrically comedic in an over-the-top manner. The delivery of Tom's voice reinforces this.

Kenny played his first set of voice actor roles for ''[[WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife Rocko's Modern Life]]''. Joe Murray auditioned Kenny for voice acting roles for the series in a large casting call in Los Angeles, California, United States. On one occasion during the production, the producers required Kenny to fill the role of Creator/CharlieAdler, who was absent on that occasion. In addition, Kenny had to perform one song and learn how to play another song within ten minutes due to time constraints. Kenny achieved this goal. He said that this helped him believe that he could stand "toe to toe" with other voice actors.

Joe Murray chose Kenny for a voice acting position in ''WesternANimation/CampLazlo'' because Murray, after seeing Kenny's previous work for ''Rocko's Modern Life'', felt that Kenny "adds writing to his roles" and "brings so much".

Aside from Spongebob, his most famous current role is that of The Ice King from Cartoon Network's ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime.''
