ROB PAULSEN (YAKKO & PINKY)
voice actor Born in Detroit, Rob Paulsen spent his childhood in Livonia and Rochester, attending
Junior and Senior high school in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Rob loved cartoons like most kids but
aspired to be a professional hockey player. “Fortunately, thanks to some big, strong, kid from
Winnipeg who drilled me so hard my ears are still ringing, I learned around the age of 18 I had
neither the talent now the temperament to make a living playing hockey. So, I turned to my
other passions: singing and acting.” The goal of bringing absolute believability to a character,
live-action or animated, is what every actor strives for. Those who are committed to their
career and who combine experience, passion and skill are likely to succeed. With over 2,000
half-hours of animation credit’s, Rob’s versatility shines in his starring roles as the voices of
Donatello (Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Yakko Warner, Pinky and Dr.
Scratch’n’Sniff in the Peabody and two-time Emmy award-winning series Animaniacs. Rob
himself has been nominated for three Emmys with one win and six Annies with three wins. As
passionate about “paying it forward” as he is about his lucrative career, Rob supports various
charities, particularly those benefiting children and military veterans. In his leisure time, Rob
enjoys golf, cruising the PCH, and occasionally lacing up his skates for another chance to relive
his past glory on the rink. He spends the majority of his free time with his wife, Parrish, and
their Yorkshire terriers, Pooshie and Tala. “Laughter’s the best medicine: the cool thing is, you
can’t OD and the refills are free.”

animated series, including Pinky and the Brain from Steven Spielberg’s Animaniacs, Futurama,
