Creator Loren Bouchard took his time finding the right Bob’s Burgers voice actors, and they have quite a few things in common with their animated characters. Dan Mintz’s voice, and groan, will be recognized as Tina. H. Jon Benjamin, voices Bob (and Archer), Kristen Schaal and Eugene Mirman are unmistakably Louise and Gene. John Roberts will always be Linda no matter where else his career takes him. The chameleons of the cast are Jordan Peele (Fanny), Kevin Kline (Mr. Fischoeder), Larry Murphy (Teddy), and Jay Johnston (Jimmy Pesto).

Other Bob’s Burgers voices can be heard on Futurama, The Simpsons, Family Guy, as well as some of your favorite live action films and TV shows. And if you’re an Adult Swim devotee, you’ve heard Larry Murphy’s voice work on Assy McGee. Learn some more fun facts about the Bob’s Burgers voice actors that delight you as much as alley raccoons delight Linda.

    When creator Loren Bouchard asked Mintz to come up with a noise for Tina to make when she’s nervous, he simply used the one he actually makes in real life. “I remember Loren asking me to make a nervous sound for an episode and I guess that's what I did. Don't remember why I thought of that one in particular, but now I do it all the time when I'm nervous without realizing it,” Mintz explains.

  • Bob’s Burgers Voice Actors Record Together (Unlike Archer)

    Most animated shows and films record each actor's line one at a time, but Bob's Burgers has them act as an ensemble. Benjamin explains the difference between the voice sessions on Archer and Bob’s Burgers. “Well they record the actors very differently. Archer records their actors individually, so we never work together.

    So I just do my part. And Bob’s Burgers, we record as a group, so we do everything together unless somebody’s not available. I’m not sure which one’s better.”
