Behind The Voice- Charlie Adler

Hello, this is Cartoon Corner, your place for animation abominations! This is a new segment I thought up a while back. Instead of talking about cartoons, I'm talking about the people who supply the voices. Of course voice actors are essential to making a good cartoon. If Rob Paulsen was a terrible actor, I would never had like Animaniacs. What actor will I discuss today? Well I already said it in the title, this is Behind The Voice for Charlie Adler! You can follow Adler's career all the way back to My Little Pony back in 85. Thank the lord he decided to do better cartoons than that one. He would do things like Rainbow Brite, Pound Puppies, and Rock And Wrestling (Which I already covered). Charlie got a real push when he starred in the Smurfs as Nat Smurfling, one of his recognizable roles. I don't like this character, mostly because he helped make Sassette. Curse the animators who brought her to life! He would also play as Low Light in the GI Joe series, a far improvement from My Little Pony. Then Adler did a ton of more roles, ranging from Rocking With Judy Jetson (Uugh) all the way to Transformers. Yeah, he had ups and downs in acting. He even worked with Tom Ruegger (Who he would also work with on Tiny Toons) in A Pup Named Scooby Doo. Don't remember that show? You're lucky. What really got Charlie Adler on the map was his role as the main character in Tiny Toon Adventures. Plus, that's what I remember him most for. He then did Swat Kats, Bonkers, and even SATAM as Snively. One note about Adler, you can always tell if he's doing a role. At certain times in Tiny Toons, you can here the voice he'll do for Snively. Odd isn't it? He would then do tons of other roles, until present day. Now he's slated to be Skywarp in Transformers and Doctor Octopus in Spiderman. So, what do I think. Charlie Adler is a fine actor who is talented and does good in any role. But there is one downside that I know about. The reason Buster Bunny had a switch in actors during the final episodes of Tiny Toons is due to his anger. He complained that he didn't get a role in Animaniacs, while people with smaller parts did. That's really the only bad thing about him. I give his career so far a 4.5 out of 5, and hope to see him in many cartoons to come.
