Tom Kenny

Tom Kenny’s stand-up comedy persona has always had a cartoon-like sensibility and a frantic, fast-paced style. As a lifelong frustrated cartoonist, Kenny is thrilled to be a part of today’s animation renaissance. In addition to voicing the lead role on the hit animated series “SpongeBob SquarePants,” Kenny is also familiar to viewers as the voices of “Dog” in “CatDog” and “Heffer” on “Rocko’s Modern Life.”

Kenny’s other television voice work includes “Lumpus the Moose” on “Camp Lazlow,” “The Penguin” on “Batman: The Animated Series,” “Raimundo” on “Xiolin Showdown” and “Eduardo” on “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.” He is also a regular voice on the animated series “Super Robot Monkey Team,” “Brandy and Mr. Whiskers,” “IGPX,” “My Gym Partner is a Monkey,” “Handy Manny,” “Tickle U,” “Dilbert,” “Futurama,” “Dexter’s Laboratory,” “Johnny Bravo,” “Cow and Chicken,” “The Powerpuff Girls,” “Toonsylvania” and “Mad Jack the Pirate.”

In addition to his voice work, Kenny appears at comedy clubs across the country and has performed on such television shows as “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “Premiere Blend” and “Comic Strip Live.” Kenny was a regular cast member on the critically acclaimed sketch program “Mr. Show with Bob and David” and appeared as the office loser “Persky” on “Just Shoot Me.”

He has also guest-starred on “The Drew Carey Show,” “Brotherly Love” and “Unhappily Ever After.” Kenny creeped out audiences as the evil “Binky the Clown” in the cult film “Shakes the Clown,” and starred with his wife, Jill Talley, in the award-winning music video for Smashing Pumpkins’ “Tonight, Tonight.”

An aficionado of old blues, jazz, country and rockabilly music, Kenny occasionally moonlights with his band, performing songs from his extremely obscure record collection. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife; his son, McKinley; and his daughter, Nora.
