My Take
John Roberts performs one of my favorite feats in modern animation: he voices Linda Belcher on Bob's Burgers, breathing warmth and goofy resilience into a cartoon mom so beloved that most viewers forget a man is behind her. That kind of vocal transformation is genuine craft, not novelty. A Brooklyn-raised, Harvard-educated comedian and writer, he has the range to build an entire household's emotional temperature through one character's laugh and song. I find his work quietly underrated; sitcom voice acting rarely gets its due, yet Linda is the heart that holds that show's chaotic family together.
