Townsend Coleman

Townsend Coleman is the kind of artist whose face you would never recognize but whose voice lives rent-free in a generation's childhood. Michelangelo, The Tick, Where's Waldo, that is a resume of pure, joyful chaos. What I admire most is the path: disc jockey, then stage actor, then voice work. You can hear that radio-honed timing and warmth in every line he delivers. I have always thought voice acting is the most selfless corner of performance, all craft and no glory. Coleman built a quiet legacy out of making cartoon heroes feel alive, and that earns my lasting respect.

Townsend Putnam Coleman III (born May 28, 1954) is an American voice actor who has performed in many animated series and TV commercials beginning in the early 1980s. Among his most notable roles are Michaelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wayne Gretzky on ProStars, Jason Whittaker in Adventures in Odyssey and the title characters in Where's Waldo? and The Tick.
