John Dimaggio

OUTRAGEOUS! John DiMaggio has his own page now!?

Well, yes. Yes he does.

John DiMaggio is in basically every single current Western cartoon imaginable -- moreso than his Futurama co-star Billy West. You can easily spot his work by his Guttural Growler Large Ham nature.

And as the photo proves, he is not a pseudonym of Peter Cullen.

Has a Twitter account.

Some of his most notable roles include:

• General Grievous in Star Wars Clone Wars (not to be confused with the ongoing animated series of the same name, and he was replaced after his first appearance).

John DiMaggio provides examples of:

• Beware the Nice Ones: A YouTube video circulated a few years ago of John tossing a violent drunk out of a bar. He's normally a nice guy, but he's scary when he loses his temper. Don't mess with a Joisey boy...
• The Big Guy: Plays a lot of these.
• Guttural Growler: Almost all of his roles are like this.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: If you've heard enough of his work, it's usually fairly easy to spot John in most of his roles. Rule of thumb is, "If a character sounds even a little bit like Bender from Futurama, then it's John DiMaggio voicing him."
• Ink Suit Actor: The writers of Kim Possible created the character of "Motor Ed" so that John could "be himself." Similarly, he also looks somewhat like Marcus Fenix.
  • Word of God says they made Human!Bender exactly like John - both in looks and personality.
• Large Ham: THEY'RE SINKING CITIES WITH A GIANT WORM!!!
• Name's the Same: He's not to be confused with baseball legend "Joltin' Joe" DiMaggio.
• Talking to Himself: Once in a while, he voices enough roles on Futurama to have a conversation with himself, although not nearly as much as Billy West does.
  • Also in Final Fantasy X, where he voices both the characters Wakka and Kimahri.
