Housepets!

Definitely Daisy.... not even trying to sound like a girl, just his regular voice flat out saying "Hi! I'm Daisy!" all the time.

Hello, Housepets forums! I have compiled a list of actors suitable for each of the comic's characters if Housepets! ever becomes a Netflix-exclusive series. Please feel free to constructively criticize me if you don't agree with my choices.

Jay Baruchel as Peanut

America Ferrera as Grape

Joel McHale as Max

Patrick Warburton as Kevin

Jake Gyllenhaal as Fido

Bruce Willis as Ralph
Alison Brie as Sasha/Daisy

Cate Blanchett as Tarot/Spirit Dragon

Donald Glover as Zach

Morgan Freeman as Television Announcer

Josh Holloway or Matthew McConaughey as Daryl

Zack Galifinakis or Jonah Hill as Other Daryl

Djimon Hounsou as Jata

Aaron Paul as King/Joel Robinson

Scarlett Johansen as Bailey

Vin Diesel as Rex

Channing Tatum as Bino

Bradley Cooper as Fox

Jada Pinkett-Smith as Sabrina

Justin Long as Joey

Tom Kenny as Spo

Benedict Cumberbatch as Pete the Gryphon

Gillian Jacobs as Squeak

Bill Burr as Roosevelt

Russell Crowe as Mr. Sandwich

Gerard Butler as Sasha’s owner

Will Arnett as Keene

Jack Black as Simon

Owen Wilson as Pit

Amy Poehler as Lana

Jon Cryer as Duke

Michael Caine as Mr. Steward

Sean Connery as Jeeves

Michael Cera as Marvin

Jon Heder as Tiger

Bill Murray as Miles

Sandra Bullock as Lucretia

...and maybe even Christopher Plummer as the voice of that old farm dog. What do you think?

It is a very thought out list, and covers a lot of characters. However just the fact that they are all bigname movie actors seems weird... But hey, it's probably just me.

Personally I would use voice actors and actors that are mainly television actors. But I have to say, I am seeing Kevin speak like Joe from Family Guy.

list

To add to that, I always imagine Bryan Craston's voice for Mr. Sandwich...I dunno, it's the fatherly thing I guess. Aaron Paul as King/Joel made me giggle (can totally see it too). Ahh, I've watched too much Breaking Bad...

Anyway. I guess I'll throw out a few ideas of my own for kicks and giggles. I'd like Peanut to be voiced by Scott Menville (Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia for JRPG nerds' ref, and Robin from Teen Titans for...nerd nerds) I think the voice fits. The dude's still got that charming, youthful tone, and as much energy as the pup himself.

I'd also like Troy Baker for Fido. Cuz Troy Baker makes me happy. His voice has all the charisma that Fidey-boy has.

Also, I think it was even listed somewhere in this topic some pages back...Vic Mignogna would be fantastic for Maxwell. So rugged but charming, and comes right out of a scrawny lil' squeaker ('sup, Ed) so well.

Also, the alt-text of this strip explains it all for Bill.

Lol, I've always imagined Scott Menville playing King. Man, how the fanbase differs, am I right?

I have not heard of any of these anime voice actors, as I don't watch anime (sorry, Joey!). But Troy Baker sounds good for Fido. I have also been thinking of Scarlett Johanssen as voicing Jessica as well.

I'll repost my cast just for the sake of revival. It's been updated slightly and trimmed.

Peanut= Will Friedle
Grape= Brittney Karbowski
Bino= I actually keep this one blank, as I think Griffin is the only one worthy of deciding a voice.
Fido= Kyle Herbert
Max= Mitchel Musso
Tarot= Mindy Cohn
Sabrina= Melissa Joan Hart
Fox= Dante Basco
King= Scott Menville
Joey= Y-uri Lowenthall
Ralph= Sean Schemmel
Kevin= Travis Willingham
Tiger= Josh Peck
Marvin=
Zack= Johnny Young Bosch
Keene= Steve Whitmire
Pete= Nick Bakay
Dragon= Jennifer Hale
Res= Christopher Corey Smith

Yes a lot of these are Anime actors, but give the names a search on Youtube and you should get an idea.

Patrick Warburton has to play Bill in all of the posts that people make in here that give him a Housepets! voice actor. That should be the new rule.

The actors who play Sheldon and Leonard on "Big Bang Theory" as Tiger and Marvin.

I so agree!

That would be Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki.

It sure does. But I dunno, I think Menville sounds too young for King but oh well. Differences indeed.

Oh yeah, forgot to add...imagining Jamieson Price's voice for Pete sure gives the big burd a lot of testosterone in my eyes. *___*

I keep hearing Tara Strong for Jessica for some reason.

Well, I always thought of Scott Menville's real voice, not his acting voice. Here's an interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-CtelBHXBk

Jamieson Price? As in Jamiseon "Lordgenome" "Prof. Oak" Price?

I keep on hearing Tara Strong as Grape and not Jessica thought. I like Ashley Johnson for Jessica.

Tara Strong is a good pick for Grape. However it just seems so generic to me.
If you haven't yet look up Brittney Karbowski, and give some of her roles a listen. I'm not trying to convince you that Karbowski should be the voice of Grape, just that it's a good voice and could work for one character or another.

How about either Brina Palencia (Ciel Phantomhive, Chibitalia, Ai Enma) or Laura Bailey (Maka Albarn, Lust, Shin Nohara) for Grape?

I don't know who any of those people are, though now that I listened to Brittney Karbowski, I think she would be a splendid Jessica.

Oh dear, my plan has backfired. LOL,
Which roles did you listen to?

Her role in One Piece, but only for a few seconds as I was also studying for a test.

The next step of Housepets! Voice Acting. Housepets! Japanese Voice Actors! Let's do this!
I'll start with the original 4.

Peanut- Kazutomi Yamamoto
Grape- Rica Matsumoto
Bino- Akira Ishida
Max- Kenichi Suzumura

I'll help you out, SuperStar.
Here are some of my own picks:

Tarot: Kana Hanazawa
Sabrina: Ryoka Yuzuki
King: Hiroshi Kamiya
Bailey: Miyuki Sawashiro
Sasha: Tomosa Murata
Kevin: Akio Otsuka

All these voices work very well! Especially Hiroshi Kamiya, I can totally imagine Zeheart Gallete's voice for him!
Oh! Fox should be voiced by Takuya Eguchi!

SuperStar wrote:Oh! Fox should be voiced by Takuya Eguchi!

After quickly looking up who that is, I'm inclined to agree with you.

Fun fact: Takuya Eguchi(Our voice for Fox) and Hiroshi Kamiya(King) played the characters Asemu Asuno and Zeheart Gallete from Gundam AGE. The two characters where BESTFRIENDS. How suiting, x3

I could imagine Pete being played by Tom Hiddleston.

Now that the Wiki has a cast list, I might be getting into this soon.

Thought of a few more.

Fox - Micah Solusod (Soul Eater Evans, Toma Kamijo, Ame)

Sergeant Ralph - Troy Baker (Joel, The Joker, Pain)

Rockstar Hawk - Brittney Karbowski (Selim Bradley/Pride, Black Star, Wendy Marvell)

Spot - either Christopher Guerrero (Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki/Nichiya) or Rick Griffin himself




As for Japanese voices, I have a few. (warning, with the exception of one, most of these actors have done voices for Hetalia)

Peanut/Bino - Daisuke Namikawa (Italy/Romano)

Grape - Romi Park (Edward Elric, Switzerland, Finn the human)

Fox - Hiroki Aiba (Ryunosuke Ikenami/ShinkenBlue, Izuru Hitachi, Irie Kanata)

Maxwell - Noriaki Sugiyama (Sasuke Uchiha, England, Blooregard Q. Kazoo)

Fido - Hiroki Takahashi (Ryu, Japan, Joey Wheeler)

Zach - Takahiro Mizushima (Finland)

Kevin - Masaya Onosaka (Vash the Stampede, France, Takeshi Sendo)

I'd definitely go with Rick voicing one of the characters.

Who is that guy who voices Beast Boy? Yeah, I think he would make a perfect voice for Max, just lower it a little.

That would be Greg Cipes. He's good friends with Roseanne Barr.

for reference here's what he sounds likewhen not doing Beast Boy

which oddly enough to me sounds like a higher pitched Dante Basco

He sounded sort of like Beast Boy when he was on "General Hospital" for a guest spot.

well yeah, he sounds like Beast Boy naturally, but BB is slightly higher than his natural voice on average.

Yep! Perfect voice. Just imagine that as max trying to be soothing and to convince someone to be in on his scheme.

Hrm. Makes him sound sort of young-ish, but I can see how it works.

Dissension wrote:Max isn't old.

Never said he was old. Just mean that the BB voice sounds like some 12-14 year old.

Greg Cipes can do older characters. In the Ben 10 franchise, he played teenage Kevin.

Yeah, but at in that post you were talking about his normal voice, not his Kevin voice.
