My Take
You may not recognize H. Jon Benjamin's face, but you have almost certainly heard his voice. He plays both Sterling Archer and Bob Belcher, two characters who sound nothing alike despite coming from the same throat, and that is the whole trick. With little more than a flat, weary baritone he can carry an entire animated series, shifting from a useless super-spy to a tender, beleaguered restaurateur. A performer who has stamped himself onto pop culture through sound alone strikes me as quietly unbeatable. From Worcester, Massachusetts, Benjamin owns one of the most instantly recognizable deadpan voices in American comedy, and it gets me every time.
