Whether you were introduced to the animated Teen Titans by the original series or through Teen Titans Go!, odds are you’re familiar with the main cast of voice actors. The same team who voiced the titans on the 2003 series continued to voice them on the follow-up cartoon.
What you might not know is that these actors have continued taking on numerous other projects over the years outside of the popular animated series. You might not even realize how many different places you’ve seen them.
Scott Menville a.k.a. Robin
Scott Menville has been the voice of Teen Titans’ leader, Robin, for years. On the series, he gets to strike out from his notable sidekick position as a sidekick and be a hero all on his own along with his teammates.
But you might not realize that Menville wasn’t always a voice actor. He starred in several live-action films in the past, such as Golden Girls, Scrubs, ER, Workaholics, The Night Of, and most recently, in an episode of NCIS. Menville has also lent his voice to some notable video games such as the Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and Call of Duty franchises. Notably, the actor also appeared on Full House and Fuller House as Kimmy Gibbler’s boyfriend Duane.
Dee Bradley Baker a.k.a. Cinderblock
Dee Bradley Baker voiced the role of DC supervillain Cinderblock on Teen Titans, but Baker is an established voice actor. He has voiced numerous characters in many popular animated series. Odds are, if you watch a lot of cartoons, then you’ve probably seen several projects with Baker involved.
Some of the shows he’s acted on include SpongeBob SquarePants, Steven Universe, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Gravity Falls. In terms of live-action, he has acted in movies like Space Jam. Baker is also known for doing animal voices. For instance, he recently voiced several background animals in Dora and the Lost City of Gold. One of his most notable roles was as Perry the Platypus from Phineas and Ferb.
Ashley Johnson a.k.a. Terra
Did you know that the actress who played Chrissy Seaver in Growing Pains also voiced Terra in Teen Titans? She was only six when she began acting on the successful sitcom. Johnson also supplied the voice of Ellie in The Last of Us.
The actress is one of many voice actors who like to go back and forth between animated roles and live-action ones. At present, she stars on the NBC series, Blindspot as Patterson. She will return to voice Ellie in The Last of Us Part II. Johnson also voiced the popular character of Gretchen on Disney’s Recess.
Greg Cipes a.k.a. Beast Boy
Out of all the actors on this list, Greg Cipes may have one of the most distinctive voices. The chances are that you’ve recognized him in other projects even if you didn’t know what he looked like. He doesn’t often change his voice all that much from role to role, but we do so love him as Beast Boy.
Outside of Titans, he is best known for his live-action role as Dwight in Fast & Furious and as Michaelangelo’s voice (along with various other characters) in Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.
Ron Perlman a.k.a. Slade
Ron Perlman is a legendary actor perhaps best known for portraying the live-action version of Hellboy in Guillermo del Toro’s versions. He also played Clay Morrow on the FX motorcycle drama Sons of Anarchy. Perlman is outspoken and well-respected in Hollywood.
However, you might not realize that he also served as the voice of Slade. Perhaps that’s why the villain was so formidable. He had a powerhouse actor portraying him. These days the Golden Globe Award-winning actor is starring in films like The Great War, Run with the Hunted, and the upcoming 2020 film, MonsterHunter.
Michael Rosenbaum a.k.a. Kid Flash
Michael Rosenbaum voiced the lovable Kid Flash on the cartoon series, but Rosenbaum is actually best-known for his portrayal of another iconic DC character. Although the other role he played for many years was the evil Lex Luther on Smallville. Many fans still prefer his version of Lex to most other interpretations, even over Jesse Eisenberg’s portrayal in Batman v Superman.
After wrapping Smallville, Rosenbaum went on to star in the short-lived TV Land series Impastor. He last appeared in a film called The Neighbor and in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Rosenbaum has also voiced the Flash in video games like Lego DC Super-Villains and Infinite Crisis.
Hynden Walch a.k.a. Starfire
Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time and Starfire from Teen Titans are voiced by the same person! In terms of live-action roles, Walch also played Debbie in the 1993 film, Groundhog Day. Ironically, Walch and co-star Tara Strong also share a character in Harley Quinn.
While Strong has voiced her many more times, Walch has voiced Quinn in animated movies like Assault on Arkham and Batman: Hush. Most recently, she voiced several characters in the Netflix animated series Green Eggs and Ham.
Khary Payton a.k.a. Cyborg
Many fans might be surprised to learn that Ezekiel on The Walking Dead has also been voicing Cyborg on Teen Titans for many years. Khary Payton did several voice-acting roles before he booked the series regular gig on AMC’s zombie apocalypse show.
In 2011, he also acted on the daytime soap opera General Hospital. Some of his other voice acting roles include Ben 10, Codename: Kids Next Door, Justice League, The Proud Family, and Big Hero 6: The Series. He has also worked with Disney on a few other projects aside from Proud Family and Big Hero 6 like Tangled: The Series and The Lion Guard.
Wil Wheaton a.k.a. Aqualad
Wil Wheaton rose to notoriety as Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation. But Teen Titans’ fans known him best as Aqualad. Still, he has become a prominent personality in the “nerd-dom” as they say.
He even recurred as a fictionalized version of himself on the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Outside of both of those properties, Wheaton starred in the Stephen King film, Stand By Me as Gordie Lachance and in The Secret of NIMH as Martin.
Tara Strong a.k.a. Raven
Out of all the names on this list, Tara Strong is perhaps one of, if not the most, recognizable. Strong has played a myriad of animated characters, but the one she is best known for outside of Raven is Harley Quinn. It’s proof of Strong’s talent that she could play two DC characters like Raven and Quinn, who are almost complete opposites in terms of their personality.
Strong started voicing Quinn in the popular Batman Arkham games and has mostly been the go-to voice for Harley Quinn ever since. She has also voiced Bubbles on The Powerpuff Girls since 1998 and Twilight Sparkle on My Little Pony since 2010.
