Dee Bradley Baker
Emmy® Award-nominated Dee Bradley Baker stars as Perry the Platypus in the new season of the megahit and beloved animated series “Phineas and Ferb,” coming soon to Disney Channel and Disney+.
As one of Hollywood’s preeminent voice actors, with a three-decade career spanning television, film and video games, Baker began his career voicing Olmec in “Legends of the Hidden Temple” and reanimated the iconic characters Daffy Duck and Taz in the original “Space Jam.” He has worked steadily ever since.
Baker’s versatility shines in Lucasfilm Animation’s “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” where he voices Captain Rex and an entire army of clone troopers, each with a unique personality. His range extends further in the sequel series “Star Wars: The Bad Batch,” where he voices all five members of the renegade clone squad. Baker also voices the blue Jedi Nubs in the Disney+ series “Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures.”
In addition to his role in “Phineas and Ferb,” Baker is also beloved by fans for his roles in “American Dad” as Klaus and Rogu (earning him an Emmy nod) and “SpongeBob SquarePants” as Squilliam, Perch and Bubble Bass.
Baker’s specialization in animal and creature vocalizations is vividly displayed in “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” where he brings life and expression to nonhuman characters like Appa and Momo, showcasing his remarkable ability to animate a wide spectrum of nonhuman characters with vivid emotion and detail. Over half of Baker’s voice work is nonhuman.
